Thailand Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 04:40:09 +0000 From: obiwon five <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Hi all, I am having difficulty identifying a Thai island on the Anadaman Sea coast where the British set up a radio post in WW1. In the early 1900s it was called Delisle island, and is one of the islands just south of Burma's Mergui archipelago. There's not a lot of online references, and those that claim to locate it give me two different islands: Ko Phayam NW of Kapoe in Ranong province, and the tiny Ko Khangkhao, W of Kapoe. Delisle may be either of these, or even another one entirely. Can someone with older (or even current?) nautical charts of this area identify it officially? I'd love a lat/long, and also it's current (Thai) name if possible.
