Koh Yao Noi: a special place

What a difference!
Hi Viv and John, lovely to receive your blog and photos this afternoon. Britain is being battered by Storm Ciara today. The North and West have been hit hardest but, even so, we have had high winds and rain here non-stop. Trains, sporting events etc have been cancelled and I’ve not been out, so your account of your first few days in the Land of Smiles, plus those lovely photos, have brought sunshine and colour into the grey day. Your Thai meal and the pineapple looked very appetising; your bamboo hut is sweet and I loved the pics of you both floating in emerald waters. I like your sarong too - nice colours. Enjoy the extra days on your idyllic island. Xx

Koh Yao Noi
I loved reading this blog! We were in Koh Yao Noi in 2011 and it was our favourite place in southern Thailand. We seemed to have stayed at the same place just across from Pasai Beach... I remember the food was very good, and their bamboo huts haven't changed! Back then the 'beach bar' was a temporary bar that got put together each night, and we had to turn the music off at each call to prayer. We blogged about it, so check out our Thailand Trip 2011 if you wish to compare photos of the beach from 9 years ago. Thank you for bringing back so many happy memories.
