Chasing Beaches on Koh Yao Yai

We caught another ferry, this time to Koh Yao Yai, between Phuket and Krabi, and spent a few days roaming the island, chasing every beach we could reach with the Landy, and of course sunsets. On the island it felt completely different from the others we've seen: slower, quieter, barely touched by tourism. More jungle than concrete, more nature than noise. So nice to see, that such places still exists in Thailand. And than we found this beautiful beach called Laem Had, with white sand and coconut palm trees. No cars were allowed to enter, but we asked the owner of the place if we could camp there and he was like, yeah sure.
