Mango Viewpoint

Ko Tao


With glorious vistas from up high, this viewpoint can be reached by motorbike but it’s not advisable for inexperienced two wheelers. Arguably it’s more fun hiking up for an hour from Sairee Village. There are several places to get a drink along the way, but it’s a good idea to pack water and a sun hat. Be warned the guard demanding the entrance fee can be rather grumpy.
