Hin Wong

Ko Tao


This lovely bay on the east of the island across from Sairee Beach is boulder-strewn and the water is beautifully clear with excellent snorkelling. The road here has sudden holes and pits and is steep, so consider walking, which makes for an enjoyable and energetic trek; if you take a motorbike, be careful and if you're in doubt, always err on the side of caution.
