Panwaburi Beachfront Resort
"Only thing was the AC wasn’t strong enough"
Grand Mercure Phuket Patong
"My stay at Grand Mercure was phenomenal. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my every need. No matter how small, they delivered every time. The property is very well maintained and the rooms are very clean. The resort is walking distance to many shops and Jungceylon mall. Excellent location."
Sea Seeker Krabi Resort
"Excellent place to stay and great value for money! We had a few issues that weren’t particularly the hotels fault and they did their absolute best to fix everything for us and I can’t recommend the staff enough!"
Hotel Riu Palace Phuket - All Inclusive
"We had a wonderful stay at RIU Thailand—the resort was excellent, very clean, and the restaurants offered a great variety of delicious food. The staff and overall service made our experience very enjoyable and relaxing. The main area for improvement would be the entertainment and adding more activities during the day, which would make the resort experience even better."

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.
