Good to know before you go
Leaving Krabi
Krabi Town sits on a river estuary and is the province’s transport base, with an airport, a bus terminal and the main ferry port. Ferries to Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta leave from Klong Jilad, a few minutes from town, while speedboats use smaller piers along the coast.
If your ticket says “Krabi”, check whether the boat leaves from Klong Jilad or from Ao Nang. They are 30 minutes apart by road.
Arriving in Koh Yao Yai
Koh Yao Yai is the larger and quieter of the two Yao islands, with rubber plantations, Muslim fishing villages and views of the Phang Nga Bay karsts. Boats come from Phuket’s east coast and from the Krabi side.
The island is big and has little public transport. Arrange a transfer or rent a scooter at the pier.
Weather and season
Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
