Workation in Ko Yao Noi: the essentials
Boats from Bang Rong pier on Phuket cross Phang Nga Bay to Ko Yao Noi, a rural island roughly midway between Phuket and Krabi. Most people here are Muslim and live from fishing, rubber and rice, so village life carries on largely apart from the resorts. The beaches run along the east side around Tha Khao, where you also find most cafés and rentals, and kayaks or longtails take you out to the limestone islets offshore. Phuket International Airport is about 35 km away across the water, with a road transfer to the pier on top. From May to October the sea gets rough and boats run less often, and there is next to no nightlife.
