Location & what to see
Nitro Pier Hostel sits in Mae Haad, the village around the ferry pier on Ko Tao, a small island in the Gulf of Thailand known for diving and snorkelling. Boats come and go from the pier through the day, which keeps the village busy, and the village is small enough to walk across.
The ferry pier is 50 m away, and Haad Ao Mae, a small beach, lies 250 m away. Further on, the Rama V Shrine honours King Chulalongkorn, and the Sairee Viewpoint is a lookout 1.7 km away. Koh Nang Yuan, a small island known for snorkelling, lies offshore and is reached by boat. Ko Tao has no road bridge, so the trip to and from the island is by boat, and the nearest airports are Samui Airport, 65.1 km away on Ko Samui, and Chumphon Airport, 86.6 km away on the mainland.
A good day can begin with a dive or snorkelling trip from the pier, then move to the beaches and bays nearby, such as Sairee Beach and Jansom Bay, which are good for a swim. Shark Bay and Ao Tanot Bay are other bays to explore on the island, and the evening can be spent back in Mae Haad, close to the pier.
