Orchid home is in Sairee, one of the main beach areas of Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand that is known above all for diving and snorkelling. The area has a lively feel, with dive schools, small restaurants and shops along the roads behind the sand. Many visitors come for the diving, and the pace stays relaxed between dive trips and beach days.

Sairee Beach is 650 m from the property, and the Coconut Viewpoint, 900 m away, is a lookout over the coast. The Top of the Rock viewpoint is 950 m away, and Ao Hin Wong is a beach 1.3 km from the property. Nangyuan Island is a short boat trip away, and it is one of the best-known day trips from Ko Tao.

A good day could start with a walk to the Coconut Viewpoint, followed by a boat trip to Nangyuan Island for snorkelling in the clear water around its shore. The ferry pier, 2.3 km away, is where boats arrive from the mainland, so it is useful to know where it is when you plan your first day on the island. Dive trips and snorkelling excursions can be arranged through the operators along the beach.
