    We visited Koh Yao elephant care house
    With our 4 children ages 3-14 years
    Everyone joined in with feeding the elephants and bathing them .
    There are 2 elephants and they are extremely well looked after.
    The food was lovely too

    Marvelous!! It is a paradise but a lot of waste. People please take all your waste with you…. It is sad to see how anyone can damage nature with all this plastic… say no to bags, straws, reduce and reuse!!!

    This place is a dream. Lots of palm trees and white sand. Crabs, birds and fish. Unbelievable beautiful 🤍

    This was our local beach, as we were staying at Santhiya resort. Nice clean beach at our resort end but rubbish just beyond Mama's Seafood restaurant. The water clarity was not clear but it was nice to swim here.

    We arrived at this area via boat. First impression was great. Clean beach friendly staff activities were fun. Lunch had small variety.
    We arrived at the lunch area and some of our party filled up at the first buffet line that they seen and were told that that area was just for the Chinese visitors and were not allowed to eat there that there was a line for the Russian and western ppl. This is the first time in my life that we felt segregated! The party that were were with was of mixed ethnicity so part of the group could eat from different areas of the buffet it was ridiculous.

    Nice and quiet beach as not many western tourists come here. Just hope the people that do come would pick up their rubbish.

    The road to the beach needs a bit of skill to make it all the way with a motorbike. Alternative option is to walk the last 0.5-1km.

    The viewpoint is next door to the Hillside resort. With four viewpoint decks to take breathtaking photos.
    Also a jungle trail at the top and very clean walking trail. The land is for sale with 2 rai at 18m Thai baht. Perfect for luxury villas location. Near the new Anantara resort.

    This little beach is tucked away down a dirt track but when you get there, wow!

    Best when the tide is in otherwise the water goes out a long way and is pretty shallow but there are waves, the most stunning white sand and thr most turquoise water!

    Well worth seeking out

    My boyfriend found this place on google maps and decided we should try it. It was one of our best experiences here in Thailand where we could just relax and create something. The owner is super nice, we really loved the whole experience we visited twice to make a small batik napkin and 3rd visit to buy something nice from her shop. I really recommend visiting this place when in Koh Yao Yai!
