Expert Tips

“These islands are not the place to go if you want busy nightlife. You can find the odd place for a refreshing beer or a simple meal, but most of the time it’s early to bed and early to rise.”

“Koh Yao is actually two islands – Koh Yao Noi (Little Long Island) and Koh Yao Yai (Big Long Island)”
