Getting There & Onward Transport

  • Bundhaya also connects Koh Yao Yai with Ao Nang (50 minutes), Railay and Phi Phi in season

Tips for the Phuket to Koh Yao Yai Crossing

  • Klong Hia Pier is at the northern tip of Koh Yao Yai, across a narrow channel from Koh Yao Noi.
  • Most public boats to the Koh Yao islands leave from Bang Rong Pier in north-east Phuket rather than Rassada: the Koh Yao Noi Boat Club alone runs 8 departures a day from there to Koh Yao Noi.
