Phuket and Koh Yao together offer a perfect balance of vibrant island life and tranquil, unspoilt beauty. Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is known for its lively beaches, colourful markets, rich culture, and diverse dining scene. From the historic streets of Phuket Old Town to the buzzing beach areas of Patong, Kata, and Karon, the island offers plenty of energy alongside pockets of natural beauty.
Just a short boat ride away, Koh Yao provides a peaceful contrast. Made up of Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai, these islands are surrounded by the dramatic limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay. Here, traditional villages, mangrove forests, and quiet beaches set the tone for a slower, more authentic Thai island experience. Together, Phuket and Koh Yao create a well-rounded escape blending excitement, culture, and serenity.
