About Koh Yao

Laid-back Koh Yao blends village life, mangroves, and karst views. Laze on secluded Ao Kian Bay, kayak the Khlong Hia mangrove channels, and hop a longtail to the powdery Laem Had Sandbar on sister island Yao Yai. From Koh Yao Noi, day trips head into Phang Nga’s lagoons and Hong Islands, then back for seafood sunsets. Luxe stays like Six Senses Yao Noi deliver infinity-pool panoramas across the bay—quiet, scenic, and wonderfully unhurried. Scoot past coconut and rubber plantations, take an island-style cooking class, and linger in cafés facing the limestone stacks.
