Description

Enjoy a fast, convenient, and safe one-way speedboat transfer between Phuket and Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi, two of the quieter islands in Phang Nga Bay. Skip lengthy ferry connections and cross the bay directly, taking in views of the limestone karsts scattered between Phuket, Phang Nga, and Krabi along the way. This boat journey turns the crossing between Phuket, Krabi, or Phi Phi Island and Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi into a scenic voyage through some of Thailand's most dramatic coastal scenery. As the boat glides across the Andaman Sea, towering limestone karsts rise straight out of turquoise water, framing the horizon like a natural gallery. Pass hidden coves, weathered sea cliffs, and traditional longtail boats bobbing near small fishing communities dotted along the coastline. Board your speedboat from Phuket or Krabi and arrive at Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi in around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on sea conditions. You can also book the same route in reverse, from Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi back. Phi Phi Islands is also one hour ride directly from Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi without going through the mainland. Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi lie in the middle of Phang Nga Bay, between Phuket and Krabi. They're known for long, quiet beaches, traditional fishing villages, and a slower pace of life compared to their busier neighboring islands, making them a great base for travelers looking to relax away from the crowds. Arriving at Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi feels like stepping into a slower, quieter Thailand, where fishing villages, rubber plantations, and empty beaches replace crowded piers. The journey itself, not just the destination, becomes part of the story: a peaceful, photogenic crossing that turns a simple transfer into a memorable island-hopping adventure. Open-air seating lets the sea breeze and salt air wash over you while the islands slowly reveal themselves: dense green jungle tumbling down to quiet white sand beaches, and a coastline still largely untouched by mass tourism.
