Koh Yao Islands
In 2002, Koh Yao Noi received the World Legacy Award for
Destination Stewardship from Conservation International and
National Geographic Traveler magazine for its innovative home stay
programmes offered by locals. Maintaining their traditional way of
life is important to the residents, as is preserving their
environment; the top activities on the islands include hiking,
kayaking, swimming and snorkeling. Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai are
situated in Phang Nga Bay, near Phuket and Krabi. Though the
islands are both small and have few facilities, Koh Yao Noi has
recently added amenities like restaurants, shops, and internet
service. The islands are a quiet and secluded refuge from the
hordes of tourists in nearby resorts. Visitors need to bring cash
with them, as there are no ATMs on the islands.
