Description
Koh Yao Noi (เกาะยาวน้อย) and Koh Yao Yai (เกาะยาวใหญ่) are two idyllic islands in Phang Nga Bay between Phuket and Krabi and are among the quietest destinations in southern Thailand. The islands are known for their unspoiled nature, long sandy beaches, rubber and coconut plantations, rice fields, and traditional Muslim fishing villages. Spectacular views of the striking limestone cliffs of the Andaman Sea, a relaxed atmosphere, and a conscious focus on sustainable tourism define island life. Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai are ideal starting points for kayaking tours, boat trips, island hopping, and bike tours, and are considered perfect destinations for anyone seeking authentic Thailand and relaxation away from mass tourism.
