Getting There

Car
If you're traveling by car, start from any location in Koh Yao Noi and head towards the nearest pier. You'll need to take a ferry to the mainland, which is usually at the Bang Rong Pier. From Koh Yao Noi, drive to the pier (this will take approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic). Once you arrive at Bang Rong Pier, purchase a ferry ticket to the mainland (cost is usually around 150-200 THB). After crossing over to the mainland, head to the nearest bus station in Phang Nga or Krabi to catch a bus towards Terengganu. This will take several hours, so prepare for a long journey.

Once you arrive, look for a local bus heading towards Terengganu. This bus ride can be lengthy, taking 6-8 hours depending on stops, so be sure to have snacks and water.
