Koh Yao Yai Island in Thailand

Ko yao yai is a thai island located midway between phuket and krabi in the andaman sea. It is distinguished by sandy beaches, mangroves, rubber plantations, and fishing settlements. Koh yao yai is developed enough to be comfortable while remaining rural enough to retain its rustic character. The island is surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches and extensive sections of mangroves that are ideal for kayaking. Ko yao noi is the other main island in the group, located off the north side of ko yao yai and separated by a small sound.

Villages are mostly constructed of traditional wooden dwellings on stilts, situated in between groves and rubber plantations. The surrounding waters are rich in coral and littered with diving sites, such as the king cruiser wreck near anemone reef and the shark point pinnacles.

Kayaking, trekking, snorkeling, and swimming are just a few of the activities available on the koh yao islands. There are a few restaurants and pubs along the beachfront, as well as a tiny village near the pier with small local businesses and government buildings such a school, hospital, police station, and post office.

This island is ideal for those who don't want to do anything but relax in a resort and enjoy the peace and quiet that this island has to offer. It's also fun to venture out and explore the island on your own, with its many miles of paved and dirt roads.

The Best Way to Get to Koh Yao Yai
