Explore the island and its surroundings on a self-guided tour by motorbike, bicycle, or kayak. Koh Yao Noi’s one main road circles the southern half of the island, with smaller paved roads taking off in different directions, plus a few dirt tracks leading up to the north.
For a different perspective, book an island-hopping tour of Phang Nga Bay, which typically departs from the island and grants you access to archipelago highlights unreachable by land. Cruises tend to visit James Bond Island, featured in the movie The Man with the Golden Gun; the floating fishing villages of Koh Panyi; and the Cave of the Reclining Buddha.
