Welcome dear traveler to Koh Yao Yai!  I hope you have nicely settled down in your comfy accommodation and now it's time to plan what to do in Koh Yao Yai. I am sure you have not much time to spare so let's dive into it.  Koh Yao does not have wonderful waterfalls, big statues, big temples nor big mosque.

The best beach in Koh Yao Yai

What is the best beach in Koh Yao Yai?  That is very common question when traveling to any island. People like to visit the most beautiful yet not much crowded white sand beaches.  I must admit that Koh Yao beaches are totally different to the ones on another islands. The seclude vibe of many beaches is something you will not experience elsewhere. It often looks the same like 100 years ago.

Less windy, less waves, less garbage that wind and waves bring. Obviously sunset watching is on the west side :) Let me divide beaches in two categories.  Wild beaches Laem Haad Beach   Must-see beach. I recommend to visit this beach during middle-tide time window 1,6 -2,0m when there is still enoug...
