Koh Yao Noi

Located in the south of Phang-Nga Bay, Koh Yao Noi lies between Phuket island and Krabi in the Andaman Sea. Consisting of 44 islands Koh Yao Yai and Kho Yao Noi, meaning 'Big long Island' and 'Little Long Island' together encompass 137 sq km of forest, beaches and rocky headlands and are the two most important islands. Kho Yao Noi is the main population centre of the two, but both islands boast some beautiful white sandy beaches and are close to many great dive and snorkelling spots as waters are so clear with plenty of tropical fish swimming very close to the shore.
