Main Areas

There are several different areas where you can stay on Koh Tao island. To see details of specific resorts visit our where to stay section. DJL has offices in Sairee Beach and Mae Haad (see facilities). We have a taxi pickup service available to take you all over Koh Tao island.

Here is a summary of each area:

Sairee Beach (Koh Tao island's longest beach, lining the West coast).

In my opinion Sairee Beach is the best place to stay on Koh Tao, Thailand. There is a great mix of restaurants, bars and shops within short walking distance wherever you stay. You can also get whatever style of accommodation you want, from budget Koh Tao bungalows in the village, right through to luxury Ko Tao resorts at the north end.

Mae Haad

Mae Haad is the biggest settlement on Koh Tao, Thailand. It has many shops and restaurants, plus the main piers are located here. A mix of accommodation is available to fit every budget.

Chalok Ban Khao (Southern bay of Koh Tao ).

Chalok Ban Khao has a reasonable beach, but buildings along it's entire length. Shark Bay is much nicer within short walking distance. Again, you can get pretty much whatever you want to eat here, and there is a wide range of Ko Tao resorts.

Eastern Bays (Tanote Bay , Aow Leuk and Hin Wong Bay ).

Nice beaches, pleasant resorts and great snorkeling, the East side of Koh Tao Thailand has much less development than the west coast, and is much quieter. The problem is that the mountains mean each of these bays is very isolated. You would struggle to walk between each of these bays, without first returning to the west coast and taking a different road back over the mountain. There are several small resorts on Koh Tao's eastern coast.

If you like being isolated, go for it. Otherwise just take a taxi over one afternoon and enjoy the beaches.
