Our little corning of Koh Yao Noi is surrounded by protected national park. One of the significant highlights is the Grand Father Tree that sits at the far north of the island. A short trek through the lush tropical jungle but a stunning sight to see an ancient tree over 100 years old towering through the jungle canopy. It would take more than a dozen people linked hand by hand to circle this colossal tree’s base.
