About Hòn Khoai Lighthouse
Also known as: Hòn Khoai (Poulo Obi)
Constructed in 1904, the Hòn Khoai lighthouse stands on the island's highest point. The square tower, built of stone and granite, reaches a height of 16 meters, with its light positioned 300 meters above sea level. Its white light emits a single flash every 5 seconds and can be seen for over 40 nautical miles. The lighthouse complex includes a lantern and gallery atop the tower, connected to a one-story stone keeper's house. This structure served as an important navigational aid in the Gulf of Thailand.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the hazardous Hòn Khoai Island and guides traffic along shipping routes connecting to the port of Can Tho. Its colonial-era architecture, featuring a square granite tower attached to a keeper's house, reflects historical maritime interests.
