Ao Yang Beach is on the otherside of the mountain to Ao Krathing Beach and is about 9km from Tha Mai.
I should think this beach gets relatively busy during the weekends as it has about 5 small Thai type restaurants at the North end of the Beach and one classy Thai restaurant at the Southern end of the beach, yesterday though only one of the small Thai restaurants was open and they had 2 customers, absolutely nobody on the beach, no deckchairs, no umbrellas and no touts
The island you can go out to and has a fresh water pond which is supposedly drinkable, maybe drinkable for Thais but not for me that's for sure.
