Via Bang Rong Pier
Bang Rong is a small pier on Phuket's northeast coast, serving as a departure point for the Koh Yao islands. Speedboats and slower longtail boats depart during the day for Manoh Pier on Koh Yao Noi and Klong Hia Pier on Koh Yao Yai. Some boats continue across the bay to Ao Nang on the Krabi side. The pier is located in the Thalang district, far from the beaches of the west coast.
From Phuket Airport, the Yao Islands can be reached by car in approximately 25 to 40 minutes. This is the fastest way to get there from a flight to Phuket. Patong and the southern beaches are considerably farther away. The public speedboat to Koh Yao Noi takes 30 to 40 minutes, while the slower boats take about an hour. According to Green Planet, the 3:00 PM departure costs 400 baht.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
