Koh Yao Noi stands apart from its better-known southern Thai neighbors for all the right reasons. While South Thailand’s beauty remains astounding, many travellers, especially those craving the castaway charm of the region’s past, have grown weary of the chaotic nightlife, the hoards of backpackers clutching plastic cocktail buckets and the overcrowded longtail boats that now define much of the once-idyllic island scene.
