We have started our little Island Hopping Adventure in the South of Thailand. First stop: Koh Phayam. A quiet Island which still has a true 'in the middle of nowhere' feel to it. I can count the people around me in two hands. Never been to such an empty beach before. It's lovely! Also very pleased with our accommodation: open-air shower and a huge hammock big enough for two on our veranda. Just swam in the ocean for nearly an hour - the water temperature is divine!! Looking forward to a very relaxed few days on this picture perfect Island! #alifefullofserendipity #serendipitytess #serendipity #TroveOn #travel #traveling #travelblog #travelstoke #travelphotography #traveltheworld #rtw #thai #thailand #thainess #paradise #whitesand #beach #kohphayam #island #sand #sea #sun #perfect #photography #photooftheday #photo ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6123675/1b12627b-68e8-4f65-a89c-082c9d7485ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by Serendipity Tess 🌺 ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6123675/1b12627b-68e8-4f65-a89c-082c9d7485ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__price_find.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Save instantly and earn perks with One Key [Learn about One Key](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Check prices for these dates Tonight [9 Feb - 10 Feb](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248621592447306&startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Tomorrow [10 Feb - 11 Feb](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248621592447306&startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) This weekend [13 Feb - 15 Feb](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248621592447306&startDate=2026-02-13&endDate=2026-02-15&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Next weekend [20 Feb - 22 Feb](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248621592447306&startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-22&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Recommended Price (low to high) Distance Property class ## Our top choices for Ao Yai Beach hotels ![Deluxe Double Room | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96830000/96829700/96829684/6ca6de87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Standard Bungalow | In-room safe, free cots/infant beds, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96830000/96829700/96829684/e0a88ac5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96830000/96829700/96829684/922f004e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Deluxe Twin Room | In-room safe, free cots/infant beds, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96830000/96829700/96829684/9afecc6c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ziggy Stardust [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ranong-Hotels-Ziggy-Stardust.h96829684.Hotel-Information) 0.9 mi from Ao Yai Beach 9.0/10 Wonderful (4 reviews) "Such a nice stay at a well kept resort.

The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room had a fridge and fan. I also had hot water, although I believe some bungalows may only have cold water — I was kindly upgraded on arrival, which I appreciated but random. Check-in was a little unusual. I arrived around 3pm and had to ring the reception bell, a couple times. I was greeted by a very sweaty man who looked as though he had just got dressed, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The main reason I wouldn’t stay again is due to the large number of huge bats living in the trees directly above the bungalows. There are thousands of them and they screech constantly, day and night. I understand this is completely out of the owner’s control, but it made the stay quite stressful and not the relaxing, beachy experience I was hoping for. I also wouldn’t recommend this place for solo travellers. Once the sun sets there is no outdoor lighting, so walking through the trees to the bungalows feels quite spooky, especially with the bats, monkeys, and other wildlife around. Some pathway & lighting would make a big difference. The view from the bungalows themselves isn’t great, as you’re looking straight onto the back of another bungalow. There is no working WiFi from the bungalows. And Overall, for the price it’s hard to complain too much, but personally it wasn’t the most enjoyable stay for me."
