Just a 35-minute speedboat ride from Phuket, the islands of Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai offer a timeless escape, far from the tourist hustle and bustle. Nestled in the heart of Phang Nga Bay, these two preserved islands are among our true favourites at M&M Excellence Asia.

​

Still authentic, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai captivate visitors with their peaceful atmosphere, wild beaches, and unique landscapes blending rice fields, jungle, and turquoise sea. Here, local life sets the rhythm of everyday living, offering a rare immersion into an untouched Thailand.

​

Experiences on these islands are as diverse as they are unforgettable. You can explore the rice fields by sidecar or bicycle, watch buffaloes roaming freely in their natural environment, meet local residents to discover their way of life, or visit traditional fishing villages.

​

It is even possible to stay in the heart of the rice fields, in charming accommodations or luxury hotels offering exceptional views over Phang Nga Bay.

​

Among the must-do experiences, a private longtail boat excursion to Koh Hong will take you to hidden lagoons and spectacular landscapes.

Nature lovers can also observe hornbills, the symbolic birds of the region (see our dedicated article), as well as a rich variety of wildlife in an environment that remains beautifully preserved.

​

For a deeper cultural immersion, take part in a cooking class at a local home—a unique and meaningful moment of sharing around authentic Thai flavours.

​

Between nature, authenticity, and exclusive experiences, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai are ideal destinations for travellers seeking peace, disconnection, and unique experiences in Thailand.
