Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a few days on the Koh Yao Islands for deeper immersion in local culture and additional private beach time. Conversely, you can condense the itinerary by skipping one or two islands (e.g., Koh Kham and Koh Phayam) and using faster transport options, reducing the trip by 4–5 days while still experiencing the most iconic hidden beaches.
