HOT DESTINATION: Ko Yao Noi – Ko Yao Yai  

7/7/2016

Comments

 
FOR proof that not every slice of paradise in Thailand is currently being bulldozed and built on in the name of progress, take a trip to this pair of large islands in Phang Nga Bay (a one-hour boat journey from Bang Rong Pier on the east coast of Phuket).
    
With a landscape comprising rubber plantations and quaint fishing villages – and only one 7/11! – life on the islands plays out pretty much like it did 20 years ago, and the locals and businesses are keen to keep it that way – think eco-friendly homestays and five-star resorts specially built to blend in with their surroundings,
as well as lovingly operated agricultural tours that provide fascinating insight into the history, culture and trade of the islands.
    
Adventurous types can fill their days with hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. Gourmands can enjoy everything from spicy local delicacies at street side stalls to international fare at swanky hotel restaurants. And, of course, anyone seeking unadulterated relaxation has plenty of tranquil, pristine beaches to choose from. Bliss.
