Transportation For Your Koh Tao Resort Stay

One major concrete road currently exist which connect the North end of Sairee Beach, home to several Koh Tao Resorts, with Chalok Baan Kao in the South, passing the main village of Mae Haad in the middle.

Many smaller roads, diverting from this main road to some other or inner parts of the island are continuously being built. Everywhere else you will find dirt roads that may be a bit of a challenge to navigate. Many taxis are always available at both Sairee Village and Mae Haad. Make sure to negotiate a fee before using their services since they do tend to be a little expensive in relation to the distance they travel.
