Via Tha Khao Pier

Tha Khao Pier is located in the village of the same name on the northeast coast of Koh Yao Noi and connects the island to Krabi. Speedboats cross to Ao Thalane Pier (Tha Len) on the Krabi mainland in about 20 minutes for approximately 300 baht. A slower longtail boat operates for about 200 baht. Tickets are available at the pier. Boats depart from Tha Khao from early morning until late afternoon.

From Ao Thalane, Krabi Airport can be reached in about 50 minutes by car, and Ao Nang takes roughly the same amount of time. This is therefore the cheapest connection between Koh Yao Noi and the Krabi side. Speedboats from Ao Nang and Railay, on the other hand, dock at Manoh Pier on the southwest tip of the island.

    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.
