Situated in Ko Yao Yai, 1.1 km from Laem Had Beach, Backpack Hostel Kohyaoyai features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hostel rooms include air conditioning and a shared bathroom.

Excellent facilities and even better service from the owner. Large, comfortable beds, the toilets and showers were particularly good quality, and clean. The owner booked a scooter hire for me- He was out of his own, but called a local place and sorted it to be delivered to the hostel within 5 minutes. When I got back to the hostel after exploring, he then offered to drive me to the pier for the speedboat. Absolutely excellent.

Connexion offers accommodation in Ko Yao Noi. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the hostel.

My recent five-day stay at Connexion in Koh Yao Noi was nothing short of exceptional. The breakfast spread was simply delightful, one of the best in 1y travelling around SE Asia. Despite the competitive price, the quality of accommodations surpassed expectations (each bed has also curtains, it assures more privacy - the pics on booking are out of date). However, what truly made my experience memorable was the exceptional host, Preeya. Her dedication to guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction, making me feel truly at home. I highly recommend Connexion to fellow backpackers seeking an unforgettable experience in Koh Yao Noi.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Exactly what I was expecting. Very little guesthouse in the countryside. Very quiet at night. Very simple and great location. 3 minutes on a motorbike to reach the 7eleven or the pier.

    Beautiful place, we had the villa & private pool which was stunning. Amazing scenery from the infinity pool, worth every penny. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They offer day trips and packages which are often cheaper than anywhere else. They're also really flexible with helping and organising the trips at short notice. They offer everything, the food was good and even offered some English cuisine at breakfast as well as standard Thai. Great value for money, would 100% stay again!
