On Koh Yao Noi, almost everyone gets about on a scooter, tourists and locals alike. It’s the most convenient way to get from one beach to another or to reach the restaurants.
There’s really no need for a car; the roads are quiet and the only cars you’ll see are hotel taxis.
Our team can arrange for you to hire a scooter, a bike or a sidecar. Remember to check your insurance cover for scooters and ensure you have the compulsory international driving licence.
Koh Yao Noi is a peaceful island that has retained its authentic charm, far from the hustle and bustle of Phuket or Koh Samui.
It is situated in Phang Nga Bay, 30 to 50 minutes by boat from Phuket and Krabi. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful holiday, whilst still being close to the major tourist attractions.
Life is good here. Breathtaking scenery, incredible sunsets, rice paddies where buffalo graze. And little restaurants serving authentic Thai cuisine. To get about, hire a scooter or a bike, or take a private taxi. The roads are quiet; the only cars are the taxis that pick up travellers at the jetty.
Koh Yao Noi is also an excellent base for Thai boat trips.
Renowned hotels such as Six Senses and Cape Kudu have also chosen to settle on Koh Yao Noi. Proof that the island has everything it takes to win you over.
