Ao Yai

Down on the eastern coast of Koh Kood lies Ao Yai, a quiet fishing village where wooden houses rest on stilts above the sea.

Fishermen mend their nets as the tide rolls in, and the smell of the ocean mixes with the smoke from grilled fish.

At the heart of the village sits Noochy Seafood, a humble family-run spot serving today’s catch straight from the boats.

Fresh, simple, unforgettable – it’s the kind of place where time slows down and you taste the real island life.”
