Koh Yao Noi Cycling Adventure – A Fresh Island Escape
The morning mist still clung to the trees as we arrived at Bang Rong Pier, where longtail boats bobbed gently in the tide, and the scent of saltwater mixed with the earthy fragrance of mangroves. Within minutes, we were gliding across calm waters toward Koh Yao Noi, the dream island whispered about by travelers seeking nature, not nightlife.
By the time our feet hit the island, the sun was warming the rice fields. Our bikes stood waiting—simple, sturdy, ready for whatever lay ahead. We pedaled past sleepy villages, the calls of roosters echoing between wooden homes. Children waved from doorsteps, and a vendor smiled as we passed, her cart piled high with pineapples.
The road soon disappeared into a trail, shaded by rubber trees and lined with birdsong. We paused in Anpao, a fishing village where stilted houses kissed the sea. A small café offered fresh juice, sweet and cold, the kind that tastes better when your shirt is damp with effort.
Back on the road, we reached a wide plain of rice paddies, vivid green and stretching forever. It felt like riding through a postcard. When the heat peaked, we reached the coast—a rustic beachside restaurant served us curry with sea views, and the breeze off the Andaman Sea made everything taste better.
We rested, some swam, others walked barefoot toward a sandbar that seemed to lead to another world.
The afternoon route traced the eastern coastline, curving gently with the land. We rode quietly, each of us somewhere between awe and peace. A few final stops—palm oil plantations, roadside goats, distant views of Phi Phi—then the tour was ending.
But the island had worked its charm. We’d come to ride, but we left feeling like we’d discovered something timeless.

Customer Testimonials
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Fantastic experience
Fantastic to deal with. We had a great time on all the tours. Very well organised and best informative and responsive
Catamaran trip to Similan Islands
I booked the Similan Islands tour to do on my birthday whilst on holiday in Phuket. The booking was well managed with all my questions answered quickly and my booking confirmed easily. It was a brilliant day and very well organised.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
