Big Long Island getaway

Ko Yao Yai, or "Big Long Island," is a 30-kilometer-long island in the middle of Phang Nga Bay that is halfway between Phuket and Krabi. Despite being only a 25-minute speedboat ride from Phuket's east coast, this long, narrow island surrounded by dense mangroves and white-sand beaches has managed to escape becoming another overcrowded island resort. Although it is more than double the size of neighboring Ko Yao Noi, tourism development on this island lags behind that of its sister.#christmasgiveaway #christmaslights #skiing #nationalpark
