Why a trip to Koh Yao Yai, a charmingly sedentary island just east of tourist magnet Phuket, is like journeying into the past (and not a visit by Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Thanks Uncle - hopefully it's kept its charm. The islanders were very against development, so hopefully they've kept that mentality. The island we took you to when you visited wasn't far away from Koh Yao Yai.
Thanks Simon, maybe it will get spoiled, maybe it won't but if only it would freeze frame in time to your visit.

What an absolutely wonderful piece, Simon. Thank you.
Thank you so much Jake!
Thank you, Simon. I hope that the islanders are able to preserve their home and lifestyle as long as they want.
Hopefully so, the lack of tourism over the last year has probably helped.
