Location & what to see
Sairee is the busiest beach village on Ko Tao, a small island in the Gulf of Thailand that belongs to Surat Thani province. Its beach is lined with dive operators, small eateries and guesthouses, and the sea is the main reason most visitors come. Baan Sawainam is in this village, about 550 m from the sand, so the beach is an easy walk from the property, and the village is a convenient base for getting to the dive centres.
Coconut Viewpoint is a hilltop lookout about 1 km from the property, and Ao Hin Wong is a small beach bay at 1.4 km. Nangyuan Island, 3 km away, is a small island known for its snorkelling, while Ao Tanote Beach is a quieter bay on the island's coast. Ko Tao has no bridge, so the last part of the journey to the island is by boat, and scooters and taxis are the usual way to move around once you are here. A pharmacy and an ATM are close by in the village.
A good day could start with diving or snorkelling from Sairee, followed by a boat trip to Nangyuan Island. In the afternoon, Coconut Viewpoint offers a lookout over the island, and Ao Tanote Beach is a quiet place to finish the day before you return to the village.
