Koh Yao Yai is a large isle betwixt Phuket Thailand together with Krabi Thailand inwards Phang Nga Bay. It's close 25km from i halt of the isle to the other. We'd never been at that spot until lastly week, although nosotros receive got taken several trips to Koh Yao Noi, it's smaller neighbor to the northward - our most recent trip was inwards 2012 - view Beautiful Day at Koh Yao Noi. The whole expanse is total of modest islands, together with I've oft wished to receive got a boat of my own. We genuinely should explore more. For a span of days inwards mid 2016 nosotros joined our friends from the Easy Day Thailand tour fellowship for a two solar daytime trip amongst 1 nighttime at Koh Yao Yai. Easy Day Thailand tin live Phuket Thailand-tours/?edt=Jamie-Blog&utm_source=yaoyai">contacted here for trips to whatsoever islands around Phuket Thailand. And at that spot are lots of islands!
Our trip started on a grayness Lord's Day morning. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 trip correct at the start of the depression flavor inwards May e'er has a peril of rain! We drove to Bang Rong pier inwards the northeast of Phuket Thailand to come across the grouping for our speedboat transfer to Koh Yao Yai together with a morn tour of a span of other islands.

We were all ready, speedboat loaded amongst bags together with beers before 8am. I've said it before - an early on start, despite the hurting of waking upward early, is worthwhile. We sped out of Bang Rong to the Northeast, passing Naka isle on the means to Koh Yao Yai. And the weather condition brightened up, every bit it oft does. If you lot come about to see Phuket Thailand inwards depression season, don't allow a moisture or grayness morn pose you lot off!
