Six Senses Yao Noi
When to visit Yao Noi
Sunseekers tend to visit from October to April, although there are plenty of reasons to join us all year round. Scuba diving season coincides with the warm months of October to April and if you're lucky, you may spot a plankton-eating, filter-feeding whale shark (don't worry, these gentle giants don't bite) between the months of August and November.

April
Toast the Thai New Year during Songkran, our yearly water festival on April 13. Join us for a day of splashing fun, starting with a 'sanuk' parade accompanied by a local drum band and dance performances, where sprays of water blessings serve as a great way to cool down in the afternoon heat. It coincides with Easter, so join us for egg painting and Easter egg hunts with ice cream rewards for all.
