The Vibe

Not just a place to sleep

Big Hug Home is a family-run waterfront hostel on Koh Yao Noi — one of Thailand's last truly unhurried islands, tucked between Phuket and Krabi in Phang Nga Bay.

Wake up to the sound of the canal. Have a coffee — it's free. Let Pom and the crew point you toward the best boat trip, snorkeling spot, or hidden beach you've never heard of. Eat together at the long table. Stay longer than you planned.

Breakfast from 60 baht. Fruit smoothies. Free coffee and tea. Kayaks at the dock. PADI courses available. Boat tickets to anywhere in Southern Thailand booked right here.
