Authentic ThaiUnspoiltQuiet beachSea view & sunset

The big sister to Koh Yao Noi: flat roads, wild beaches, sandbar at Laem Had and sunsets facing Phuket.

Koh Yao Yai is a Muslim fishing island with no pork or nightlife, reached from Bang Rong. You explore it by scooter on flat, quiet roads, which become unpaved and slippery in the south after rain. Laem Had reveals a spectacular sandbar at low tide, Loh Pared on the west has beach bars for sunset, and Ao Sai and Ao Muong are wild coves. ATMs are available at Chong Lard port.

Our local tip

Come from November to April, rent a scooter (250–350 ฿/day, international licence theoretically required) and finish at Loh Pared for sunset.
