 Historic Background Outstanding
characteristics
Koh Yao is an island located at
Pungna Bay. As it was closed off
from the sea, there was a
traditional fishery custom by using
folk wisdom tools.They lived a
simple and religious life. However,
after 1997, there was an increasing
number of tourists visiting Koh Yao.
This encouraged villagers to get
more interested in helping tourism
management and earning more income.
Thus they gathered together and set
up “the community based of
kohyaohomestay”.
