Location

Hotels in Sairee Beach

Bow Thong Beach Resort is on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao’s 1.8 km western shoreline of white sand, dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. Sairee Beach is 50 m away, and guests describe this end of the shore as quieter than the island’s main nightlife strip. Sunset views look towards Koh Nang Yuan. Ao Hat Sai Ri is 850 m away; Viewpoint is 1.2 km away and Top Point is 1.3 km away.

Koh Tao has no airport, and visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad Pier; Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.3 km from the resort. Pick-up truck taxis can take you from the pier to Sairee, while Mae Haad and Sairee also connect by a flat brick path along the shore, around 15 minutes on foot. Scooters are another way to travel around the island, but access roads to east-coast bays are steep. Free private parking is available nearby, rather than on the resort grounds.

Long-tail boats reach Nangyuan Island from Sairee in about 10–20 minutes; sandbars link its three small islets, and day visitors leave by late afternoon. Ao Hin Wong is 2.1 km away, while Ao Muang (mango bay) is also 2.1 km from the resort. Diving and snorkelling are central island activities, with sites including Japanese Gardens and Chumphon Pinnacle. The west and south coasts, including Sairee, are usually calmer from November to March, though rough seas can disrupt ferry crossings during the wettest months from October to December.
