Accessible only by boat, Koh Yao Noi, the “Little Long Island”, is a rustic getaway an hour’s ride from Phuket and Krabi. As one of the last local islands unspoiled by mass tourism, it offers a laid-back community focused on agriculture and fishing. With a nostalgic charm, it provides an escape from the crowds, featuring national parkland and capturing the essence of Phuket 30 years ago.
