North Twin Island
Mergui Archipelago
North Twin is the slightly smaller, tree-topped, sister island of South Twin and lies 20 km to the north.
 North Twin Island's waters are visited by pelagic fish such as Zambezi - bull sharks, rainbow runners, and eagle rays.
One kilometre to the north west of North Twin lie a series of sloping rocky ridges. These ridges have sea fans, featherstars, and flower corals. Local inhabitants include several loose groups of teira batfish, and malabar groupers and nurse sharks hidden under the overhangs.
