About Manoh Pier
Manoh is the pier on Koh Yao Noi's southwest coast where most visitors first set foot on the island. The public speedboats and longtails from Bang Rong pier on Phuket land here after 30 to 60 minutes, and some boats from Ao Nang on the Krabi side call here too. Shared taxis and drivers from the hotels wait at the end of the jetty.
It's also the jumping-off point for Koh Yao Yai. Longtails shuttle across the narrow channel to Chong Lard pier on the bigger island in about 10 minutes, which makes a day trip to the Laem Haad sandbar or Loh Pared beach straightforward.

Use Grab Everywhere
Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.
Rent Scooters Carefully
Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
Get a Rabbit Card for Bangkok
The Rabbit card is Bangkok's reloadable transit card for BTS Skytrain, and it also works at convenience stores and some restaurants. Buy one at any BTS station for 200 THB (100 deposit + 100 credit). It saves time queuing for single-journey tokens.
