The Breathtaking Small View Point of Ko Tao

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving a car, start from Sairee Beach, the main area in Koh Tao. Head south on the main road (Sairee Beach Road). Continue straight for about 3 km until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left fork towards Chalok Baan Kao. Follow the road for another 1 km, and look for a sign for Small View Point on your left. There is a small parking area available near the viewpoint. Keep in mind that the road can be steep and winding, so drive carefully.

• Motorbike

  For those renting a motorbike, the route is similar to that of a car. Start at Sairee Beach and follow Sairee Beach Road south. After about 3 km, take the left fork towards Chalok Baan Kao. Continue for 1 km and watch for the sign towards Small View Point on your left. The ride is enjoyable with beautiful views, but be cautious of the road's steep sections. Parking is available at the viewpoint.

• Public Transportation (Songthaew)

  To reach Small View Point using public transportation, hop on a songthaew (shared taxi) from Sairee Beach. You can find songthaews near the beach area. Inform the driver that you want to go to Small View Point or Chalok Baan Kao. The fare should be around 50-100 THB per person, depending on your negotiation skills. The driver will drop you off near the viewpoint, and from there, it's a short walk to the entrance.

• Walking

  If you're feeling adventurous and already in the vicinity of Chalok Baan Kao, you can walk to Small View Point. From Chalok Baan Kao beach, head up the hill following the signs. It's approximately a 20-30 minute walk uphill, so wear good shoes and bring water. The path can be steep and rocky, so be prepared for a bit of a workout!
