Klong Hia Pier (Koh Yao Yai)
Klong Hia Pier located on the scenic northern tip of Koh Yao Yai in Phang Nga province, serves as a vital maritime connection point within the Andaman Sea. This local port acts as one of the primary lifelines for both residents and international travelers commuting between Koh Yao Yai and its sister island, Koh Yao Noi, as well as the nearby mainland hubs. Surrounded by serene coastal scenery, it offers a peaceful transit experience.
The jetty operates daily transit services, accommodating standard local longtail boats and modern high-speed vessels. Due to its strategic geographic position on the island, Klong Hia Pier makes island-hopping seamless and convenient.

Getting to and From the Island Terminal
Navigating around the island to reach this transport hub is relatively simple. Local open-air passenger trucks, known locally as songthaews, alongside private motorbike sidecar taxis, wait frequently at the terminal area to transfer passengers directly to their beach resorts scattered across Koh Yao Yai. For travelers aiming for total independence, scooter rentals are widely available right near the port entrance.
When planning a return journey to the mainland, booking a joint “Speedboat + Taxi” ticket online is highly recommended. This allows you to effortlessly cruise out from Klong Hia Pier and seamlessly connect with ground transport waiting at the mainland jetty to take you directly to Phuket International Airport or your next hotel. Booking in advance is highly advised during the dry peak season to avoid sudden service sell-outs.
