Things to see and do on Koh Yao Noi: The most popular excursion on Koh Yao Noi is the boat trip to the stunning Phang Nga Bay. This trip can also be taken from Khao Lak, Phuket, or Krabi. The island captivates visitors with its unique atmosphere, authentic life untouched by tourism, diverse landscapes with rice paddies, picturesque beaches, charming villages, and rubber plantations. Koh Yao Noi offers many interesting places: beaches, waterfalls, a batik workshop, the small island of Koh Nok (offered as a day trip by fishermen), a giant tree, and the neighboring island of Koh Yao Yai. At the end of this page, you'll also find a list of recommended tours, excursions, and activities that you can do on or from Koh Yao Noi. Click here to view them.

Sights in Koh Yao Noi: Klong Jark Beach (My rating: 3/5 stars) This is the most beautiful beach on Koh Yao Noi. Even at low tide, you can still swim here, and it has the most resorts, hotels, bars, and leisure activities. The landscape and rice paddies (My rating: 4/5 stars) I love cycling through the countryside on Koh Yao Noi with its rice paddies, water buffalo, and the diverse landscape of fields, mountains, and sea. Tha Khao Waterfall (My rating: 3/5 stars) This small waterfall looks unassuming, but its location in the forest and the fact that it's almost deserted (many tourists don't know about it) make it very appealing. It's also very easy to reach. Long Beach (My rating: 3/5 stars) It's the longest and most natural beach on Koh Yao Noi. It's not the easiest to get to. But precisely because it's almost deserted and untouched, it gives you the feeling that Robinson Crusoe has been shipwrecked on his island. Tha Khao Beach (หาดท่าเขา) My rating: 3/5 stars. It's not the busiest beach on Koh Yao Noi, and that's exactly what makes it so interesting! It also offers a beautiful backdrop with views of the karst peaks of Phang Nga Bay, the small island of Koh Nok, and Tha Khao Pier. I find Tha Khao Beach particularly beautiful at sunset.

Other places worth seeing on Koh Yao Noi: Pasai Beach (5 stars) Right after Klong Jark Beach, this is the liveliest beach on Koh Yao Noi, with the most resorts and restaurants. It's also good for swimming, especially at high tide. At low tide, it's less suitable, as the water is only about a meter deep. Batik Workshop (5 stars) This small batik workshop, where a traditional wax-dyeing technique is used, is run by a cooperative of women from Koh Yao Noi who want to preserve this craft. Under their guidance, you can create your own designs. Old Pier (5 stars) This long concrete pontoon, which extends far out into the sea, is a popular photo spot. While it's not necessarily worth a detour on its own, the whole area is great to explore by bicycle. It's also a beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset on Koh Yao Noi.
