Just an hour off the northeast coast of Phuket, and served by public boat, is one of Thailand's hidden gems, the laidback rural island of KO Yao Noi. Nestled in the middle of Ao Phang-Nga and framed by soaring limestone karsts perfect for climbing, it's a relatively big island with steep rubber-treed mountains and thin white beaches, infused with the warm energy of the ever-welcoming local people, over 90% of which come from Muslim families who have lived here for generations. thailand accommodation phuket,hotels in phuket thailand
A spectacular five-star property, the Six Senses Hideaway, a collection of thatched glass and wood villas with stunning views, opened here in late 2007. Its spa could be the best in the region. Paradise Hotel is another, more affordable choice option if you just can't leave. And you should definitely stop by Pradu Seafood, owned by Ya, a delightful local woman who has cooked for both Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz. You'll sit under a thatched gazebo, across from a stilted fishing village, and dine on snapper steamed with lemongrass and garlic, or dry-rubbed with chilli and fried crispy brown. Yeah, you should probably stay the night. thailand accommodation phuket,hotels in phuket thailand
