Hang Yao means Long Tail Boat

Long Tails are a great way to island hop. Depending on the size of the boat you can get anything from a lawn-mower engine to a full on diesel truck engine cantilevered with a long drive shaft for the prop. This long tail is the ferry that runs from Koh Chang to Ranong. While most are controlled much like a little Johnson 9.5HP bigger boats get a bus-style steering wheel.
