 Let's
start at
Sairee,
or better say Jor Por Ror bay at its southern end, there you'll
find the Rama V rock,
right in front of that is the Fishery Museum, small but still
of interest. Behind that, a bit uphill is the Fishery Conservation
Unit, where marine life is observed and cultivated. Next stop
could be at Sairee View, a beautiful hilltop resort in the north
end. Not only can you overlook the whole east coast till Jansom
bay, the owner has also a gigantic, whale skeleton on display.
Close by you can visit the mysterious diamond caves.
Another great panorama you'll have at Two View, the highest
peak of Koh Tao, best take a taxi towards
Tanote
Bay, get off at the signs and walk the rest, it's really
worth it. From there you could walk straight down to Sairee,
or if you want to see more, walk back the way you came with
the taxi, follow the sign leading to Ao Leuk and be rewarded
with a refreshing swim in one of the most beautiful bays.
 A
day tour could start at
Chalok Baan Kao's east end. There you find stunning viewpoints
in every direction. To the east you see
Thian Og bay, to the north you overview Chalok and to the
south you see both bays together. All routes involve steep walking,
but you won't regret it.
Next proceed on the beach to
the west side of Chalok, cross the concrete bridge leading to
Saan Jao. Take a break at the Viewpoint restaurant with the
best angle of the Buddha Rock. Then climb the stairs behind
uphill and follow a shady path down to the next bay, June Juea.
This is where the real trekking adventure starts and proceeding
is recommended only for the sportive and healthy ones.
 The
path goes very steep uphill and enters thick jungle. After a
while you reach Cape Jeda Gang. Time for another refreshment.
Check out the view and the huts on the cape. From there uphill
again, stay on the coast side path until the next bay, Sai Nuan.
Up again, through stick and stones, pass the "Lost Hippie's
Totem" and finally arrive in Jansom bay from where it is only
10 min walking through three resorts to reach
Mae Haad
(and a taxi). This trip should take from Saan Jao about three
hours without breaks, so don't start too late. |
