Koh Yao Noi Cycling Loop

8° 6.2′ N · 98° 37.3′ E · approximate

A concrete ring road of about 18 km circles most of Koh Yao Noi past rice paddies, rubber plantations, mangroves and limestone views, with only one big hill. It is the best way to see village life, and hornbills are common.

Practical

Position approximate, at the Long Beach / Sabai Corner landing where Wikivoyage says bicycles can be hired (Sabai Corner Bungalows and most guesthouses); motorbikes cost about 200–300 THB a day in an older listing (verify locally). The northern tip has only dirt roads. Ride early to beat the heat. Dress modestly through the villages.

Best for

A half-day ride ashore from the east-coast anchorages
