Good morning from Koh Yao Yai.
I'm Kristin, and today we're discovering a few more hidden places in Thailand.
So we started up north, and then now we're on the No Farang Islands, at least that's
the nickname.
So on this side, you have Phuket and Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta and a few other really popular
spots.
But Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai are a lot less frequented by tourists.
So that's why we're here.
Ashley: That's why we're here.
So let's go explore.
So we want to do a little bit of exploration but I'm not totally confident with someone
on a motorbike.
Ashley: And I'm useless on one.
So yeah, we're going to do it on bicycles which is probably a great idea because
it's not like it's a million degrees outside or anything.
So yeah, let's have an adventure.
We made it.
This is Laem Haad beach, and it's famous for this sandbar that goes out and curves around.
It looks really cool.
It's like a 15-minute bike ride.
And I'm glad we took bikes because the last part would have been really rocky and sandy
and would have scared me on a motorbike.
But it was a really nice bike ride, so if you're here, maybe rent a bicycle.
All right.
So that was Koh Yao Yai, and today we're going to get into a long-tail boat and head to Koh
Yao Noi just to check out the other set of these two islands.
I had heard that it was fewer tourists around here, and I've seen that to be true.
It looks like this is mostly a local island with a few nice resorts and guest houses.
Ashley likes it.
So yeah, time to head out and head to the next one.
So after about a week spent between Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai in Southern Thailand,
I have to say it is a beautiful, relaxed and pretty uncrowded island.
Water is super clear.
It's absolutely beautiful.
The temperature's right, and it's just nice swimming here.
You don't have any thumping parties, definitely not a backpacker crowd.
It's more like resorts like the one behind me.
But most of them is eco-resorts which are really cool.
So yeah, I really enjoyed the time here.
It feels like a bit more grown up Thailand to me.
I give it a thumbs up.
It's really been a nice stay here.
Ashley: I'll see you when I see you.
Alright. Well, that wraps up an amazing month in Thailand.
I've been enjoying so much seeing these hidden places and discovering these amazing, beautiful,
jungly islands.
And now it's time to head to Indonesia, solo.
So next, I'll be diving in Raja Ampat.
Definitely taking you along for that.
