Northeast Beach, Ko Yao Yai


BEACH
In the northeast of Ko Yao Yai, not far from Sankbank Beach, is a beautiful beach without a name and several places to stay. It is a quiet beach with fine white sand, green grass and great views of the rock formations in the sea. Grab one of the beach beds and you will completely relax.

There is a stone seawall about half a meter high to protect the beach during storms. At this beach we advise to book a hotel with a swimming pool, as during low tide, bathing becomes more complicated. The sea retreats tens of meters and the sandy bottom becomes clayey, yet the view of the sea is wonderful.

WHERE TO STAY
On this beach there are several small-scale hotels. Our favorites, directly on the beach, are the more upper range Better View Koh Yao Yai and the mid-range Thiwson Beach Resort. At this last-mentioned hotel, we prefer the more spacious bungalows on the hill over the relatively small bungalows directly on the beach. If you are traveling on a budget, go to Koh Yao Beachfront, although this part of the beach is less attractive.

The stays have their own restaurant. You can also grab your scooter to visit the small restaurants in the area.
