Our newest camping beach is on the west side of Koh Yao Yai. This means you can watch the sunset, but not the sunrise. You can't have both.
The beach has a fishermen's shack and several fishing net hammocks as well as a table area for preparing food. Firewood is abundant, though we usually bring a big bag from home.
This camping trip is also a coastal survival course. You'll learn how to use a fire striker to start a campfire. There are a few wild edible plants in the immediate area, but islands tend to have fewer wild edible plants than mainland areas.
We don't rough it. We have a cooler, awesome Thai food, tents, and other items to make you comfortable.
Contact us if you're interested in this very relaxing camping adventure."

string(2375) "Paddle Asia strives to get away from all other tour operators in Phang Nga Bay. Our goal is to show you the bay without seeing other visitors. It's not always possible, but it works perfectly most of the time. Occasionally, there are speedboat tours that visit 'our' areas. It's easy to simply go somewhere else if they're there.
The popular cave tours, known as 'hongs' in Thai, are quite lovely. However, Phang Nga Bay is full of alternative caves and other stunning cave-like features that you can visit with us and not be part of a crowd.
When tourism is running at the normal capacity, the two islands in the bay where the dozens upon dozens of Phuket and Krabi tour operators visit get very crowded. We do everything to avoid situations like this. We don't like sharing nature... we offer intimate tours whereby you can soak in Mother Nature with all of your senses.
We visit one short cave on our Phang Nga Bay kayaking day trip. On our multi-day adventures, we visit more caves as well as some interesting deep overhanging areas that have cave features.
Paddle Asia guides are among the most experienced guides in Thailand. Mr. Run, our lead guide, has over 20 years of kayak tour guiding. He's been certified in Emergency First Response first aid and CPR for many years. He has taken other courses as well. A lot of other tour operators don't certify their guides to international safety standards. International safety standards training is very important to us. See our many international certificates here.
Paddle Asia also differs from the other tour operators as we are the original company using proper sit-inside kayaks. Some of the other companies are now trying to copy some of what we do.
During the pandemic, we are offering substantial discounts and flexibility. Contact us to discuss your special discounted rate. We look very forward to showing you the best areas in stunning Phang Nga Bay."

Our coastal survival course takes place on a small island in Phang Nga Bay. This is an easy course that is suitable for anyone interested in survival and/or for those who'd just like to chill on a secluded beach for a couple of days while learning some useful survival skills.
We can go as hardcore as you wish during the day but come evening, we're going to relax and basically have a comfortable camp with tents, a big campfire, great food, etc.
Coastal Survival Skills Training:
- You'll learn how to set up a camp safely
- How to start a fire using a fire striker
- How to make fish traps
- You'll learn knots
- You'll learn how to make a fishing net
- Learn how to make rice-cooking cylinders, drinking cups, spoons, and knives out of bamboo
- You'll go fishing
- You'll search for oysters and other coastal food
- You'll learn wild edible plants (though islands tend to have much fewer edible plants than the mainland
- You'll go on a rugged hike through the thick verdant jungle (optional). There is a nice viewpoint at the top of the ridge
This trip departs from Phuket. You'll take the public speedboat ferry to Koh Yao Noi, then switch over to a private longtail boat to travel to the island.
The beach is quite nice. Phuket is in the background. Some other islands are in the foreground. This is a lovely peaceful setting.
Note: We try to limit this to around six participants. Larger groups are welcomed if you're coming as a group. This is a family-friendly adventure that is suitable for children.
If you're interested,
contact us."
