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
Hornbill Viewpoint, accessible via a jungle trail. Sturdy footwear is recommended; best avoided during the hottest part of the day
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
