Bandon Bay

Bandon Bay

Bandon Bay ( _th. อ่าวบ้านดอน) is a bay in the Gulf of Thailand in the Surat Thani Province, extending from the Sui cape in Chaiya district in the northwest to the Kanchanadit district to the east. The total coastline is about 100 km. The bay is dominated by the eastuary of the rivers Tapi and Phum Duang.

The bay is relatively shallow, with water depths ranging from 1 to 5 meters. Along the coast are mudflats due to the high rate of sedimentation, which were naturally overgrown with mangroves ("Sonneratia" spp., "Rhizophora" spp.), but now mostly replaced by shrimp farms.
