Location & what to see
Chalok Baan Kao is a bay on Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand known for diving and for its clear water. Closca Hostel sits 960 m from the beach, in a part of the island where small guesthouses and everyday services sit close together. A clinic and a pharmacy are within a short walk, which is useful on a small island.
Sairee Beach, one of the island's best-known beaches, lies 1.8 km away, while Koh Nang Yuan, a group of small islets popular for boat trips, lies further out. Boats to and from the mainland call at the island's pier, so arrivals and departures are a short distance from the bay.
Aow Leuk Bay and Sai Nuan Beach are also nearby, so there is more than one stretch of sand close by for a morning swim. A day could start with the walk to Cindy's Tower viewpoint, 850 m away, then a swim at Ao Thian beach. Boat trips to Koh Nang Yuan depend on sea conditions, so keep the day flexible and leave room for a slow lunch by the water. The hostel's bar and games room offer an easy end to the day, with a happy hour at the bar before dinner.
What guests say
Travellers rate the cleanliness and the service most highly, both at 9.7, and the value for money also scores 9.6, with the facilities close behind at 9.4.
