KO YAO NOI
OVERVIEW |
Koh Yao Is located in the south of Phang-nga Bay, 42 kilometers away from the mainland of Phang-nga Province. It is a district of Phang-nga Province with a total area of 141.067 square kilometer, consisting of 44 islands. Of these islands, the two most important ones are Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai, which is twice the size of Koh Yao Noi.
Koh Yao has many tourist attractions that still maintain their natural beauty along with many beautiful beaches. The people of this island lead a simple life bond with the sea along with making a living from the sea. Apart from this, not far from the coast of Koh Yao are many exotic islands, which increase the beauty of Koh Yao.
Largely unaffected by booming development in nearby Phuket, Koh Yao retains its traditional Muslim culture almost unchanged. There are a few bungalow operations providing basic but very charming accommodations. Rental vehicles are not an option, although sometimes you can strike a deal with people at the bungalow to use their motorcycle. Beside, you can charter Tuk Tuk for sightseeing around the island. Traveling to Koh Yao Yai is like traveling back in time.
Koh Yao Noi is the center of government with all government offices located there.
The interesting tourist attractions on Koh Yao Noi
Tha Khao Beach
This beach is about five kilometers away from the Koh Yao District Administrative Office. This beach has many colorful rocks and pebbles. A short distance away from the beach is a small island called Koh Nok which can be reached on foot during low tide or by canoe during high tide.
Pa Sai Beach
This is about seven kilometers away from the District Administrative Office. This long stretch of white, pristine beach is a place where you can swim and is shady with lots of trees. It also provides a spectacular view of the islands.
Ao Kian
This is under the control of the Phang-nga Bay National Park, located on the north of Koh Yao Noi. It has a lush forest with many large trees, along with a white beach and a perfect swimming place.
Apart from this, tourists may hire a boat from Koh Yao to Pa Koh , which is a group of more than 100 islands, such as Koh Lao Ka Lao, Koh Lao La Ding, and Koh Pak Bia. They can also go snorkeling at Koh Hong in Krabi.
