Koh Yao Modern Inn

Every room at Koh Yao Modern Inn has a garden view, air conditioning and a private entrance, plus a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, toiletries and towels. Each one also has a flat-screen TV with satellite or cable channels, an electric kettle and a hair dryer, and the floor areas run from 26 to 30 m².

Beds are a king bed, a double bed or a pair of single beds, depending on the room. Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, and the garden and the terrace give guests places to spend time outside the room, with tours and a shuttle service available for days out.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in the public areas, and the inn also offers internet services. Free parking is available at the inn, a shuttle service is offered, and housekeeping is daily.

Snorkelling, canoeing and tours are offered, and the inn has luggage storage, a convenience store and a doctor or nurse on call. Air conditioning is in the public area as well as in the rooms.

The garden and the terrace are outdoor spaces for relaxing, and the languages spoken at the inn include English and Thai. Satellite and cable channels come with the flat-screen televisions in the rooms, so indoor evenings are covered as well, and the luggage storage is useful on the day of a ferry crossing.

Koh Yao Yai is an island in Phang Nga Bay, in Phang Nga province, and the last part of the journey to it is by boat. Koh Yao Modern Inn stands in the village area of the island, with the village of Ban Chong Lat 350 m away, and the island is far quieter than the resort beaches of Phuket such as Patong. Life centres on the village lanes and the sea, and those are the main places to spend time.

Laem Had Beach lies 1.1 km away, and the Laem Had viewpoint is 2.3 km away, so the coast around the inn has both a beach and a lookout to visit. Chong Lard Pier, the nearest ferry terminal at 1.8 km, is the pier to use for boat trips. Phuket International Airport is 31.2 km away on Phuket, and reaching it means crossing by boat first.

Snorkelling, canoeing and tours are offered at the inn, which suits a day on the water. Laem Had Beach makes an easy afternoon out, and the viewpoint is another stop. Wat Chalong, the Big Buddha and Patong Beach are all on Phuket, so guests planning a day there should allow for the crossing.
