Haad Yao

Haad Yao is a beach village on the island of Ko Pha-ngan, in the Gulf of Thailand. It sits along the calm, tropical coastline with access to nearby reef sites and boat-based dives offered by local operators. While the area is known for its beaches and laid-back vibe, diving around Ko Pha-ngan is mostly forest of corals and macro life typical of the region, with several dive centers nearby offering courses, guided reef dives, and night dives. Freshwater options are limited locally, so most divers focus on saltwater reef and island diving within day-trip reach.
