We were going to stay at The Paradise Koh Yao Noi but this place looks amazinig.
This is the part of our 3 week trip to relax, kayak, visit national parks, snorkel etc. I know Koh Yao is good for kayaking, what about snorkeling and swimming, what would be better?

B 15,500 + tax and service ( 17% )= THB 18,135 a night ( about USD 455 ), ouch!!, the going rate in December locally was about USD 190 'including tax and service', breakfast about $14 each.

It very much depends what you are looking for but totaly different from the Paradise on Koh Yao as Koh Yao is an island between Krabi and Phuket, very very quiet indeed but with a good solid reputation, Khao Lak is a coastal area north of Phuket. There are a lot of great resorts around the area but it depends what you are looking for, whether you want top lux and also how much time you might spend in the resort or on tours or trips.

JamesA-Thanks for your reply.Just for clarificaiton it works out to about $200 a night, and then includes comp. airport transfers, breakfast, champange, discount on spa. So $200 a night doesn't seem bad. You pay for 2 and get 2 free.
