Discover Ko Yao Yai

Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.

Ko Yao Yai is the larger of the two big islands in the Ko Yao Archipelago. The island group is in Phang Nga Bay in the Phang Nga Province of southern Thailand. Ko Yao Yai means 'big long island'. The other main island of the group is Ko Yao Noi, off Ko Yao Yai's north side and separated from it by a narrow sound. The two islands form Phang Nga's Ko Yao District. The population of Ko Yao is about 18,000 (2018). Ninety percent are Muslims. The area of the archipelago is 147 km2. It lies around 600 km south of Bangkok and about 50 km from Phuket or Phang Nga. Ko Yao Noi is more popular with visitors as it has more facilities.

As WE explored Ko Yao Yai, we were struck by the natural beauty of the island, with its lush forests, stunning beaches, and crystal-clear waters. The island is surrounded by a stunning coral reef, which makes it a perfect spot for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. The island is also home to some of the most beautiful wildlife, including monkeys, birds, and lizards.

One of the most unique experiences YOU will have on Ko Yao Yai is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditional Thai way of life. The island is home to a small fishing village, where YOU can witness the daily routines of the locals, including fishing, farming, and traditional crafts.
