Went to Ko Yao Yai to have a couple of days to just relax during our backpacking tour and we couldn’t have chosen a better resort to do that. Thiwson Beach Resort is a lovely and beautiful place.
The staff is extremely nice and they got us a free bungalow update. The included breakfast is also wonderful
Besides the free breakfast the restaurant itself is quite expensive and we didn’t like the food that much but maybe the cook just had a bad day😅

Wonderful staff, beautiful pool with a killer view, tons of great options at the included breakfast. Not far from the pier. The cutest cottages arranged in like 3 rows. Outdoor private shower was really cool. Comfy tropical feeling bungalow with great AC, fridge, closet, desk-ish space with chair. Good bed, porch for coffee. I had a great time here, and scooting around Ko Yao Yai checking out the beaches and jungle and such.
Really nothing. I guess the beach could be sandy into the water, but the infinity pool is right there.

At the time of writing #kohyaoyai only has a handful of resorts and guesthouses to choose from, I researched them carefully, my essentials being air conditioning & swimming pool in the mid range price bracket, my wish list being a characterful locally owned property on a beach. With the Thiwson beach I struck gold.
This unpolished gem offered everything on my wish list plus more. Owned by a local family, three generations of whom regularly join the guests for dinner in the open air restaurant which serves very tasty reasonable priced Thai food and great chicken nuggets to the delight of my toddler (albeit they were out of fries for the duration of our stay!). Beside this are the beachfront huts are in prime position with their own outdoor jacuzzi, it’s no wonder they book up so far in advance. There are facilities on site to hire scooters or book tours to explore the island and two lovely pool areas.
I was initially disappointed with the hilltop location of our own bungalow which are actually across the road from the others, but the quiet semi private pool area in front of our large veranda and the sunrise view through the frangipani trees buckled my reservations.
The resort isn’t perfect, there are holes in the concrete (my little girl took a nasty fall in one) & bugs in the rooms (to the delight of my 9 year old boy), there is no room service and while there is sand the sea is separated from the resort with a concrete flood barrier & is extremely tidal so not ideal for swimming.

The swimming pool made our stay happy. They had a coffee machine and muffins taste good.
Breakfast didn't have many options for being a buffet. The plate where the pineapple was had ants around, three salty options that weren't much tasty.
The last day after the cleaning service we found out that our little terrace had a flies nest, we tried to close it, one of the staff came with a spray, didn't work, she said was going to call someone else, didn't appear anymore, I had to go and ask for help, one staff came, put more spray, didn't work, , offered us to change room but it had the same problem with the nest, we kept our room and they gave us a repellent that help a bit. Found two more nest in our terrace. I think a better communication and solving situation would help us to have a better stay.

The surrounding is good, breakfast was good too, wifi speed is fast and the bed is comfortable. The bathroom has an outdoor feature which I like.
The beach the hotel is at is not "accessible" meaning it is not recommended for swimming. There is not much near the hotel and transport to go somewhere will cost quite a bit too.

with the question being "What Went Well" - the very simple answer was - Everything - What a wonderful and peaceful place. Check-in was very easy and quick - the cabin was absolutely wonderful - clean, the ac worked very well, comfortable bed
Breakfast had a great choice of Thai food
Staff were very friendly and helpful
the swimming pool is OK size as the resort is only small, plenty of loungers and umbrellas
the on-land beach is quite small - the sea is tidal so only get beach area at low tide
I cannot ride motor bike - the staff were really helpful in getting me a mountain bike so was able to get out and tour the island
beautiful place to stay
no answer to this one

The view from the pool area was beautiful but unfortunately that's all.
The baddest thing was the food. Most of it was not good and I even have upset my stomach on the last day. Furthermore, the surrounding was really noisy.
9.0
We liked the bungalow type rooms, the restaurants location looking out to sea and the small pool which was raised slightly with fab views from it.
Mattress was a bit too hard but wouldn't put me off staying in the hotel.

The hotel on the island - we are by car ... and there is a whole story - because the ferry runs 2 times a day and the last one at 14 o'clock ... And here the hospitality of the owner is simply beyond praise, we were late and he helped us get to the island and to the hotel late in the evening - and part of the way I drove personally !!! Our gratitude knows no bounds! Thanks a lot! I would also like to note that almost everything you need is organized in the hotels and on the territory, despite the fact that it is on the island, full respect!

Very comfortable Bungalow in a great area to start trips or just stay there to relax. The breakfast is very nice and the restaurant has a good selection. I would 100% book this place again.
Make sure to book a trip of mangrove forest kayaking with Kuhn Coco (local celebrity). Find is number on Google maps.

pool was good. Gentlemen at reception was very helpful. He helped me to scan docs and emails. thank you again. Owners daughter I assumed gave us a home made drink. Generous of her. Thank you.
Bed was not good springs were hitting your body
staff doesnt speak english also dont know about tourism.
1) I gave my half full glass beer in it and asked ice in it. she poured my beer down the drain and filled with ice. No compensation !
2) we were leaving early morning, so we were missing our breakfast option. they offered us sandwich, was nice. when we opened the sandwich container , sandwich was swimming in ketchup snd mayo mix. amazing they poured ketchup over the sandwich.
3) timber decking around the pool. timbers are terrible please. see photo. they are expecting you walk with bare feet
4) Timber Sun lounges were falling a part

Pool was beautiful. Nice little getaway location.
Restaurant service was poor, seemed quite disorganised and very slow, even with few diners.

A lovely location with happy, friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help. The accommodation and pool are right on the shoreline and the food is great and plentiful. The island is like going back in time with many places to eat, swim, see nature and experience the local lifestyle.
The frogs can be a bit noish at night, but only near a couple of cabins so ask for one nearer the sea and it will be much quieter.

I thought the setting was very traditional Thai, loved the wooden bungalows, we were lucky enough to have the whole hillside part to ourself, we had our own pool. It had amazing views, wifi was great, pool and facilities clean. Staff take pride and care into their grounds. Dinner was good.
Unfortunately the beds are hard as rocks, but I’ve found that in a lot of Thailand. Breakfast could have been better, but considering they were working with such little amount of guests (due to covid I’m assuming) I would say they weren’t wanting to have a lot of waste.

Pool and views are amazing. It is so relaxing to stay here. The beds are probably the comfiest I have ever slept in!
Some areas are a little shabby but only to be expected coming out of COVID. Breakfast wasn't great, not so much choice but again maybe down to lack of custom post COVID.

Beach not great for swimming (but lovely hotel pool).

We really liked the location of the bungalow. Directly by the pool and with sea views. Pleasantly compact beach and beautiful landscaping. The best was Thai oil massage.
What I didn't like at all and in the meantime even bothered me was the choice of music. The staff should definitely let the experts compile some more neutral and up-to-date playlists, and for breakfast I would prefer local music over Kenny G's luscious saxophone.

good pool, good breakfast
About the area itself; watch out for sea lice/insects
