Top Ko Yao Yai Hotel Reviews
Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel
"first and foremost ignore all the critical and downright fictious comments others have made. I have been coming to Phuket for over 30 years and this is just about the first hotel I have stayed in I have almost no reason to complain about at all. my room was perfect, large and airy, clean as a whistle, surrounded by ancient rain forest, when i told her the cold tap in the bathroom was a bit stiff for my old fingers, she was on her mobile and engineers were there in minutes and fixed it . I am particularly fond of cats and the resident cat there was lovely, clean and attentive and guarded me from any sort of intruders, the whole stay was a joy and i shall return. the only thing that was a shame, breakfast! everything pre cooked was cold, bacon coked the day before it seemed, rice porridge was passable but only warm, such a pity because within a stones throw the were places with excellent breakfast at half the price . but apart from the b,fast, this was a joy to stay at. 9.9 out of 10 ."

Pocket Guide: Ko Yao Yai
Ko Yao Yai may be the larger and more populated of Thailand's two Ko Yao islands, but it is still less developed than its neighbour, Ko Yao Noi. Even though over a dozen guesthouses and resorts have now popped up on Ko Yao Yai, farming and fishing still rank far above tourism in the ways the friendly locals earn their living. Rubber plantations, coconut groves, and villages filled with stilted wooden homes are the dominant scenes along the smooth main road.
Don’t MissLike its neighbour, Ko Yao Noi, motorcycling and beach-hopping are Ko Yao Yai's two main attractions.
During low tide, the calm and shallow bays next to most of the island's narrow beaches of white sand turn into mud flats. Loh Paret, a beach on the island's west coast, offers superb swimming all day long and spectacular sunsets. Some beaches also allow snorkelling.
A steep path through a rubber tree plantation between the piers of Klong Hia and Chong Lad leads to the Ko Yao viewpoint, which offers the best views of the entire island. Local operators also offer private mangrove and karst island kayaking excursions. A jet-ski operation has recently been added next to ATV off-roading, agricultural tours, and fishing excursions on Ko Yao Yai's growing list of outdoor activities.
Restaurants and BarsMost Ko Yao Yai eating and drinking opportunities are located in the island's resorts. Aside from a coffee bar which serves Italian and American food, freshly caught seafood and traditional Thai cuisine are the most common menu items. A single liquor store recently opened close to Chong Lad village.
ShoppingThere is only one major shop on the island of Ko Yao Yai, and a handful of other places to shop in neighbouring Ko Yao Noi.
