Ao Yai (Thai: ตำบลอ่าวทอง, pronounced [ʔàːw jàj]) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Wang Wiset District, in Trang province, Thailand. In 2026, it had a population of 3,578 people.[1]
History
Before the tambon was called Ao Yai, it was called Ao Yuan, but later changed because the name is not suitable for the locals in nearby areas. The name Ao Yai is from the shore that became a bay by the waves.[2]
