Koh Yao Yai Island
2 Days 1 Night:
This two-day journey begins in Phuket and carries you into the quieter world of Koh Yao Yai, a place that still feels new even to seasoned travelers. The trip opens the door to landscapes and moments you don’t often find anymore. Life here moves at an easy pace, shaped by people who’ve stayed far from large-scale development. Their culture, their routines, and the island environment remain surprisingly pure.
Although the people of Koh Yao Yai live in the same era as the rest of us, their surroundings have shaped a way of life that stands apart from the busy mainland and the islands that have become major tourist hubs. This package lets you step into their world. You’ll meet the community, see traditions that have held their ground, and join simple daily activities that give real insight into the island’s character. The experience blends calm, curiosity, and hands-on holiday activities that add a light sense of fun.
The service that frames the whole trip is what makes it feel special. JC Tour delivers an Upper Class Service built on handpicked staff whose last ten trips are completely complaint-free. That level of care turns a modest escape into something meaningful. Your time here becomes more than a holiday. It becomes a rare chance to share a place, and a rhythm of life, with the people you care about most.
We recommend reviewing the full itinerary and checking out some highlight photos from the trip before booking. If you'd like to speak directly with a real JC Tour staff member (not a bot), feel free to contact us anytime at 089-5727603, WhatsApp: +66 848053153, or Email: jctourthailand@gmail.com.
Or if you have specific needs or special requests, just click Special Inquiry — a JC Tour representative will get back to you within 30 minutes.
The romance sence in Mechanic film.
Laem Had is a narrow cape of fine white sand that begins on solid ground and slowly thins into two parallel beaches divided by a long coconut grove. Step by step, the land tapers until it becomes nothing but soft sand, where the twin shores meet and stretch out into the Andaman Sea for more than a kilometer before disappearing underwater. The view has a way of winning people over at first sight. It happened to every traveler who set foot here, and even to the production team of Mechanic: Resurrection, who chose this very spot for one of their filming locations.
For guests, the pleasure is simple and immediate. You get two beaches only four steps apart, a garden of coconut trees for shade, and a long white sand spit where you can walk through clear water without wanting it to end. A hammock waits nearby, the kind that lets you drift into the mood of Arthur Bishop and Gina without trying. As for your own love story, you may want to be ready for something memorable.
Footnote: Arthur Bishop, played by Jason Statham, and Gina, played by Jessica Alba, are central characters in Mechanic: Resurrection, which filmed scenes on Laem Had.
Mangrove kayak on sea canal
 |
 |
One of the highlights of this package is a kayak journey through a beautiful sea canal that cuts straight across the island, linking one side of the ocean to the other. The route winds through a natural corridor of mangroves, forming one of the most intact mangrove tunnels in the region. Along the way, the ecosystem comes alive around you. Colorful birds lift off from the branches, monkeys move between the trees, and dusky langurs, gibbons, and squirrels appear in quiet flashes. The mix of calm water, rich wildlife, and shaded mangrove walls turns the paddle into something both soothing and surprising.
As you glide through the canal, the experience builds layer by layer. It becomes more beautiful, more joyful, and more freeing than expected. Many guests say the calm steals their attention so completely that they forget whatever they meant to leave behind. For a little while, happiness takes over the whole space inside you.
Khai Nai
Another standout destination on this trip is a small island that offers a kind of beach experience most travelers have never seen. Instead of a single shoreline, the beach wraps entirely around the island. It means you can walk the whole perimeter on soft white sand while the clear, light-blue water shifts in color as it meets the shore. At the island’s tip, a cluster of volcanic rocks shelters a stretch of vibrant coral. You only need to swim out a short distance to see it, adding both fun and a real sense of reward for making the journey.
This package gives you unhurried time on Koh Khai Nai, letting you enjoy the island at a pace that feels personal and relaxed. Your private guide leads you to every beautiful corner, from the quiet shallows to the coral spots that are easiest to explore. It’s a simple setting, but one that delivers a fresh kind of coastal beauty you’re unlikely to forget.
Khai Nui
Khai Nui Island is a cluster of rocky formations with a small beach, known for its shallow water and unusually clear underwater visibility. The coral here is healthier and more colorful than anywhere else in the area, making it a perfect place to spot clownfish, baby reef sharks, squid, and a wide range of vibrant marine life. Snorkeling at Khai Nui suits every age and every swimmer, and it often becomes a “first-time favorite” for many guests. Most people leave with one quiet promise to themselves: if they ever get the chance, they’ll come back again.
Around Yao Yai Island - by Local Vehicle
This part of the trip lets you step into everyday island life on Koh Yao. You’ll visit old wooden houses raised high on stilts, with your guide explaining the practical reasons behind their design. You’ll walk through lobster and marine-fish farms, and see the small fishing boats used to catch anchovies before they’re boiled and dried in a surprisingly intricate process. There’s also a stop at the local crab bank and the community seafood cooperative, where you’ll learn how island families protect their resources while making a living from the sea.
Traveling around the island on a local songthaew brings out a different kind of joy. The ride takes you past untouched rural beaches, free from buildings and beach vendors, where the landscape feels open and honest. Many guests say they hear themselves whispering little wows without meaning to, as if happiness keeps bubbling up before the words can catch it. It’s a simple loop around the island, but it leaves a deep, bright feeling that stays for a long time.

Program: 2 Days 1 Night. |
 |
 |
| Day 1 |
|
| 07:00 |
Your Koh Yao specialist guide meets your group with a clean, private vehicle and driver. The ride is arranged so you can travel at an easy pace, without rushing or waiting. Pick-up is from any location on Phuket Island. |
| 08:00 |
At the pier, the service staff welcomes you with cold drinks or hot tea and coffee, along with Thai snacks. While you relax, your guide gives a short briefing about the day’s program.
Depart the pier and head to the first island of the day, known for its underwater beauty. Khai Nui, the smallest of the Khai Islands, has the most unspoiled marine life in the group. You’ll find healthy coral, clownfish, harmless baby blacktip reef sharks, and a wide range of colorful reef fish.
Continue to the inner island, Khai Nai, whose white-sand beach wraps around the entire shoreline. Two volcanic rock formations connect the beach sections. You can walk the full circle of the island or snorkel straight from the soft sandy beach with ease. |
| 12:00 |
Lunch on Khai Nai Island. |
| 13:30 |
Arrive at Koh Khai Nok, the largest of the three islands, and enjoy lunch by the sea. After the meal you are free to explore. Walk the beach, find a quiet corner to relax, swim, or join optional water activities such as banana boat rides or parasailing. Marine life continues to sparkle right along the shoreline. |
| 16:00 |
Check in at your selected resort on Koh Yao, surrounded by natural gardens and untouched scenery, with a private beachfront throughout the property: Glow Elixir Resort and Spa. |
| 17:30 |
Your guide picks you up for dinner at a restaurant where advance reservations are essential due to limited seating: Baan Rim Nam. |
|
After dinner, you are transferred back to the resort. |
| Day 2 |
|
| 07:00 |
Breakfast at the resort. |
| 08:00 |
Your guide meets you at the resort and takes you to the kayak base camp.
A specialist kayak guide prepares your equipment and gives a short lesson on proper paddling techniques. Anyone can move a kayak, but the right method makes the experience feel far better once you’re on the water.
Begin your kayak journey into the Sea Canal, where both sides are lined with dense, healthy mangroves. The water is calm and easy to paddle, and wildlife appears throughout the route. You may see birds, harmless mangrove animals, and small movements in the trees as you glide through. Guests often find themselves slowing down simply to enjoy the quiet. At moments, you might even hear the chorus of “The dream that you dare to, why can’t I?” from Over the Rainbow drifting through your imagination. For many travelers, this becomes their own “destination unknown.” |
| 12:00 |
Return to the resort, shower, change clothes, and check out. |
| 12:30 |
Lunch. |
| 13:30 |
Visit the fishing village and the crab bank of Koh Yao Yai.
Explore the anchovy village, where high-quality ching chang fish are processed using a local method that your guide will explain on site. These anchovies are unique to the South; in other regions, you’ll only find gataak, a different species entirely.
Visit one of the island’s proudest symbols: the famous ba-bin coconut cakes. Your guide will teach you to make them yourself. Koh Yao’s ba-bin is crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, sweet and rich in coconut flavor. Anything else is just an imitation. |
| 16:00 |
Board the speedboat for the return trip to Phuket. |
| 16:45 |
Your private vehicle is waiting at the pier to take you back to your hotel or any location you request on Phuket. |

Yao Yai - Glow Elixir Resort
Good air can add years to a person’s life. It’s the kind of air rich in oxygen and negative ions, usually found only in places where nature is still untouched — mountains, forests, open fields, and stretches of sea free from man-made development. Glow Elixir Resort has all of these qualities. It sits on a private beach, surrounded by natural greenery, yet still offers full comfort and modern facilities. The rooms are spotless and thoroughly hygiene-checked, and the resort rests in the pure environment of Koh Yao Yai.
This is where you and the person you care about will stay on this trip. The quiet setting, the clean ocean breeze, and the feeling of being held by nature make the resort more than a place to sleep. It becomes part of the experience — a calm, restorative space that supports everything you’ve come to the island for.
We understand that most JC Tour customers are confident in their own decisions, but reading real customer reviews—both positive and negative—can still help.
