There is a huge
variety of accommodation for every budget in Koh Tao. Most of the
resorts are located on the main beaches
Sairee,
Mae Haad &
Chalok Baan Kao.
Room qualities range from simple huts to luxury villas with all
western amenities. The average fan bungalow with a shower/toilet
inside will start from 400 Baht, air-con rooms with tv & hot water
are from 1.500 Baht up.
Prices can change with the season. Not all resorts supply yet
24hr electricity, some use their own generators from 6pm - 6am &
around midday, if that's not convenient for you, better double check
when booking.
Peak seasons are from December to March and July to August. Then
and during Thai holidays like Songkran, the island can actually be
booked out. Check on rooms before arrival, best via on-line booking
which is a convenient & secure choice (see below).
Don't want to leave anytime soon? There are plenty
of choices for long-stay visitors or future ex-pats. Located in
hillside areas or lush valleys, you can choose from wooden bungalows
to fully equipped houses, there are also many furnished appartments
with reasonable monthly rents.

Sairee Beach (map)
.
Sairee's white sandy beach stretches about 1.7km
over most of the west coast, interrupted only by a few huge
boulders. Mae Haad is only a 10 min walk away. Being the most
popular area on Tao, Sairee offers a huge range of accommodation,
dive centers, restaurants, shops, beach bars, travel & email
services, nurseries, etc. You also find here the Fishery
Museum, the Rama V rock and on the way to Mae Haad the police
station, the public school and the temple. |
