Right at the beginning of Tha Khao Pier is a small batik workshop run by a women's cooperative from Koh Yao Noi. There, you can create your own designs – the price depends on the size of the piece to be dyed. What is batik? Batik is a fabric dyeing technique practiced in various countries around the world, such as Indonesia and – though less well-known – Thailand in the south. Patterns are drawn onto the fabric with wax and left to dry. These patterns represent the areas that will not be saturated with dye. Dyeing an entire piece of fabric involves creating several wax designs and then dipping it in different colors.

It is recommended to book your batik workshop in advance! I don't have contact details, but you can stop by in person and book your workshop.

The batik workshop of Koh Yao Noi is located at Tha Kao Pier. You can easily reach it by rental bicycle or scooter (be sure to pay attention to the regulations and insurance when renting a scooter in Thailand!) from the village or the beaches of Pasai Beach or Klong Jark.
