Koh Yao Yai is a little-known gem in Phang Nga Bay and an ideal island escapade. Its unsullied beaches and authentic culture are now drawing people to its beautiful shores.
Unspoiled Beauty Away from the Crowds
Unlike Thailand’s more famous islands, Koh Yao Yai has a natural rhythm to it, simply because it is not inundated by tourists like the rest of the Thai islands. You will find quiet beaches, swaying palm trees, and emerald waters, offering travellers an island paradise sans the commercial trappings of mass-scale tourism.
Island living
Despite the seclusion, you will still find plenty of accommodation to suit every budget. In Koh Yao Yai, luxury resorts are aplenty. The likes of Anantara Koh Yao Yai are among the luxury stays you can find there. But that’s not all. For a truly authentic stay, why not try staying with locals, where you can cook and live with them for a truly island stay
