Chalok Baan Kao is a bay on Ko Tao, the small island in the Gulf of Thailand known for its diving courses. The area around the bay is built up with dive shops and small restaurants, and the hostel suits guests who want to spend their days in or on the water.

Sai Nuan Beach is 1.3 km from the hostel, and the John-Suwan Mountain View Point, 950 m away, looks down over the Chalok and Thian beaches. Sairee Beach, 2.4 km away, is the island's main beach strip, with dive shops and restaurants along it. Taxi and car hire services can be arranged through the hostel for trips to the other beaches. Ko Tao is a small island, so its beaches and viewpoints are a short drive apart.

Diving courses are the island's main draw, and a popular day out is Koh Nang Yuan, 5.6 km away. It is a small group of islands joined by a sandbar and is reached by boat from Ko Tao, a trip that takes in the bay's coastline on the way out and back. The boat trip is part of the outing, with snorkelling stops around the islands and time on the sand.
