We would take a taxi straight from the airport to the ferry pier in Phuket and hop on the 30-minute speed boat to Koh Yao Yai. Thanks to their proximity to Phuket, and many direct flights between Singapore and Phuket, I thought it would be super easy to get there. The reason the two sister islands caught my attention for this getaway was their location in Phang Nga Bay, right in between Krabi on the mainland and the island of Phuket. Both islands are surrounded by a number of uninhabited scenic limestone karst rocks, a typical feature of the Andaman Sea. The smaller islands can be visited but don’t have hotels or resorts. And both, Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi, happen to be two islands that have been on my Thailand wish list for years – score! The Koh Yao island group is made up of 44 islands in total, but only the two largest ones, Koh Yao Noi (Little Long Island) and Koh Yao Yai (Big Long Island), are inhabited. When I consulted the map to see which island would make the most sense, I zeroed in on not one, but two islands: the Yao Islands. So when I spontaneously decided to add on a quick island getaway to Thailand to my Singapore trip a couple of months ago, I knew I had to check out a new island instead of returning to old favorites (sorry Koh Tao!). My Thai island wish list is long though: I’ve yet to visit Koh Lipe (highest on my list), Koh Mook and Koh Kood, Koh Samet and Koh Mak. I’ve been to Koh Chang in the Gulf of Thailand (did you know that there’s another Koh Chang in the Andaman Sea?), I’ve been to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, to the Phi Phi Islands and Koh Poda, and to Koh Lanta. What to pack for your trip | GlobetrotterGirls Packing ListĮven though I’ve been to Thailand three times, I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of the Land Of Smiles, or its many islands.To end this review on positive note though, they kindly gave us a lift back to our hotel, thank you, this was appreciated. I was so looking forward to dining here as the other reviews have been very good. Thank you.Īll in all, disappointing food, disappointing service for this type of establishment. I don’t actually think I have ever done that before in a restaurant! This was done without complaint. I’m very sorry but I asked for the massaman curry to be removed as it was not edible. Received the bill, with the dish still charged. Mentioned it to the lady who served us, however no offer was made to warm it up. The beef dish - massaman curry was cold and inedible, we did not eat any of it at all. Ordered 2 main courses, the chicken dish was very tasty but lukewarm, we ate it but would have preferred the dish to be served hot. Ordered it anyway as a starter, very spicy but tasty. I did not know what one of the Thai dishes was from the description of the ingredients listed on the menu, I asked what it was and was just quoted back the ingredients. Perhaps our expectations were set a little too high previous reviews have been very good which is why we chose the restaurant.īeautiful location, service at front desk was lovely, we received a very warm welcome, service in the.
