Koh Yao Noi Thailand: The Hidden Island Paradise Between Phuket & Krabi
Thailand has some of the most famous islands in the world. Think Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui and Koh Tao — places with incredible beaches, turquoise water and unforgettable experiences. But sometimes the most magical places are the ones that are still a little hidden. That is exactly what we found on Koh Yao Noi. Located between Phuket and Krabi in the spectacular waters of Phang Nga Bay, Koh Yao Noi feels like a completely different side of Thailand. Here, life moves slower. There are no huge beach clubs, no busy shopping streets and no feeling that you have to rush from one attraction to the next. Instead, you’ll find quiet beaches, friendly locals, green landscapes, traditional fishing villages, tropical forests and incredible views of the limestone cliffs rising from the sea. During our Thailand trip, Koh Yao Noi became one of those places we didn’t want to leave. We stayed at Coastal Escape Koh Yao Noi, explored the island by scooter and spent an unforgettable day cruising through Phang Nga Bay by longtail boat, visiting beautiful islands like Hong Island and Koh Lao Bile. In this guide, we share everything you need to know about Koh Yao Noi: how to get there, where to stay, the best things to do, the most beautiful beaches and why this peaceful island deserves a place on your Thailand itinerary. Why Visit Koh Yao Noi? If you are looking for the Thailand you imagined before visiting — palm trees, tropical beaches, warm smiles and peaceful island life — Koh Yao Noi might be exactly what you are searching for. While nearby islands have become increasingly popular, Koh Yao Noi has managed to keep its authentic charm. Here you can expect: 🌴 Quiet tropical beaches 🛵 Beautiful scooter routes through the countryside 🐦 Hornbills flying between the trees 🌅 Spectacular sunrises over limestone cliffs 🚤 Amazing island-hopping adventures 🍜 Delicious local Thai food 👨👩👧 A relaxed atmosphere that works beautifully for families Koh Yao Noi is not an island where you come to party until sunrise. It is an island where you wake up slowly, enjoy a fresh coconut, explore hidden beaches and simply enjoy being in Thailand. And honestly? That is exactly what makes it special.
Milan with Kids: The Italian City We Didn't Expect to Love So Much
There are cities you visit because they're on your bucket list. And then there are cities that completely surprise you. For us, Milan was definitely the second. Before we booked our trip, we pictured a city of designer shops, fashionable Italians and busy business districts. It sounded fun for a weekend, but we weren't convinced it would be the perfect destination for a family city break. How wrong we were. Milan welcomed us with grand piazzas, beautiful architecture, streets that seemed to invite you to wander without a plan and, quite honestly, some of the best food we've ever eaten in Italy.
