Location & what to see
Chalok Baan Kao is one of the small bays on Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand that is reached by boat from the mainland. The bay is surrounded by opportunities for scuba diving, and snorkelling is also possible around it, so time in the water is a natural part of a stay here. The area suits anyone who came to dive, and the hostel sits close to the sand. Ko Tao is a small island, so most of the places named here are a short trip from the hostel.
The beach is a 2-minute walk away. Sairee Beach, 2.4 km along the coast, is the best-known beach on the island, with restaurants and dive schools along its sand. Closer to the hostel, the John-Suwan Mountain Viewpoint, 950 m away, looks down over Chalok Bay and Ao Thian beach. Sai Nuan Beach, 1.3 km away, is a further beach for a swim.
The ferry pier is 1.8 km from the hostel, and the arrival on the island is the last stage of a trip by boat. A good day out from the bay is a snorkel session in the morning and a walk up to the viewpoint in the afternoon, with both places close by.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location most highly (8.6) and the service (8.5), with value for money and room comfort also scoring well.
