The Island’s Viewpoints

The Experience

Koh Yao Noi is also best explored from above. Rice paddies stretching as far as the eye can see on one side, limestone peaks in the bay on the other. In the morning, the light is soft. In the evening, the sunsets over the west coast are magnificent.

Good to Know

  • Some cafés have an elevated terrace with views of the rice fields and mountains
  • For the sunset, head to the west coast. The east coast, on the other hand, is perfect for the sunrise
  • What to bring: water, mosquito repellent, camera
