Location & what to see
Mae Haad is the village around the ferry pier on Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand that belongs to Surat Thani province, and the hostel sits in the middle of it. Sairee Beach, the main beach strip, is 650 m away and is lined with bars and dive shops, while Haad Ao Mae beach is 250 m away. Live music and bars are part of the evening life here, and the sea is within walking distance for anyone who wants a swim before dinner.
Within a short walk are the Koh Tao Turtle Monument and the Rama V Shrine, dedicated to King Chulalongkorn, and the Koh Tao Health Promoting Hospital is close by as well. Koh Nang Yuan, a small group of islands reached by boat, is 3.9 km away and is known for its viewpoints and sandbars. Ko Tao is an island, so the way in is by sea: the nearest airport, Samui Airport, is on Koh Samui, 65 km away across the water.
A good day is a boat trip to Koh Nang Yuan, followed by an evening on Sairee Beach, where the bars and dive shops keep the beach busy after dark. The Sairee Viewpoint, a short distance from the beach, is an easy stop for the late afternoon before heading back to Mae Haad.
