Great local guide - Great local guide, it’s a family business well set up. They know the island by heart and know how to avoid high-visitation moments for all visits. Very welcoming and attentive

Unforgettable experience with ' our magical Thailand ' at Koh Yao Yai - I have spent a few days on the island Kho Yao Yai with my friend, and I have to say that this was my best vacation experience in thailand, Thanks to our gide Gift and his lovely family from 'our magical Thailand'. Koh Yao Yai is a peaceful and less-touristy destination located in Phang Nga Bay between Phuket and Krabi. It’s perfect for travelers seeking a quiet escape surrounded by stunning natural beauty and authentic Thai culture.
Our tour gide his name was Gift and he made us experience Thailand really as magical. Just like his name, he was really a Gift to us 😊
We started our cultural experience by visiting local villages, visiting the oldest traditional stilted house of Gifts family (130 years old), his rubber plantations, and rice paddies offering a glimpse into the local way of life. We learned how to grate coconuts, how to cut rubber from the tree, and visited the rubber factory.
The most fun part was that we went to Gift his family fish farm, we chose our favorite fish and came back to the island to get a Thai cooking class with his aunt using local and fresh ingredients. After this delicious lunch, we did a Batik class with the lovely wife of gift. The Batik class was very relaxing. Using our own fantasy and surrounded by the beautiful view of nature was unforgettable.
The day after we went Island hopping with our gide Gift. With a boat that was very comfortable, we have seen the most magical spots. We have visited 5 islands, and Gift brought us to a spot where we were able to see the most beautiful and colorful fishes during snorkeling.
The first island was like paradise and a national park. We have swimmed a little and made beautiful pictures.
After that, we went to a secret island where we had a great homemade lunch made by his aunt. The most fun Island was the Monkey Island. It was an island that had a lot of monkeys. We were able to feed the monkeys with fresh pineapple. The Island hopping day with Gift was again magical. I am looking back at my travel to Thailand as a wonderful experience, and the highlight of the trip was our great memories and the cultural experience that Gift and his family gave us. I would recommend anyone who would like to travel to Thailand to visit Koh Yao Yai and book some activities at our Magical Thailand with Gift. He speaks very well English and he makes you experience an unforgettable time. Thank you 'our Magical Thailand ' for this unforgettable and beautiful experience. Thank you for your hospitality.

✨Unforgettable experience in Koh Yao Yai through Gift - (English version bellow) ⬇️
These two days in Koh Yao Yai with Gift were just amazing!
These two days spent in Koh Yao Yai with Gift were unforgettable! He introduced us to his island with incredible generosity, immersing us in local life as if we were part of his family. We cooked with our loved ones 🍲, visited fish and latex factories, explored rice fields, a dream beach 🏝️, participated in a batik painting workshop 🎨, and even discovered a floating lobster farm 🦞.
The adventure continued on the 2nd day in Phang Nga Bay, with the iconic James Bond Island 🔫, a charming floating fishing village 🎣, a canoe ride surrounded by breathtaking scenery 🛶, and a secret cave leading to a secluded cove.
Gift shared with us his anecdotes and little secrets, making every moment even more magical 🤩.
Much more than just a sightseeing tour, it was a warm and human immersion. Thank you, Gift, for your welcome and kindness 🙏✨. Those memories will be forever etched!

Honeymoon, Island hopping , Private boat, Snorkeling, Anemones , Clown Fish Island - I was on my honeymoon and wanted to say thank you very much to Giv on this way who left us no wish unfulfilled we had two wonderful days with Hinsel hopping on the Khai Islands and Hong Island , he can also talk in English compared to many others. In addition, he is one of the few on Kho Yao Yai who is licensed and offers tours insured. I.e. there are also cheaper providers here but I would be careful if the coast guard could control you that even you have to pay. So all in all had very great stay in Kho Yao Yai and I can only warmly recommend the batik workshop

Great! - We had a lovely day with Gift. He was very attending to our kids needs, brought them special food, and helped them throughout the day. Gift also tailored the trip so that we were always alone in special spots that he knows. It was a wonderful experience which we all enjoyed.

Amazing tour with Mr. Gift! - Amazing tour. Gift was our guide and was really friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. He showed some very secret areas that other tours dont cover. If you want to spend time with a real local guide, look no further!

Friendliest tour in Thailand - Lovely day out, great guide, arranged literally everything for us, pickup from our hotel to the boat, showed us all the Bond islands ( and few more hidden gems ). Super tasty local lunch on a secluded beach, with a cosy little picnic. We even got The nicest coffee break on the fisher man floating island 🏝️….. After the tour he kindly invited us to his home where his wife creates beautiful hand painted scarfs and sarongs. Gift went above and beyond to make our tour of Phang Nga bay unforgettable and super easy, securely minding our luggage for the day and arranging and delivering us to our next hotel.
