About Sairee
Koh Tao's primary beach strip, suited for travellers wanting dive shops and evening entertainment nearby.
This area spans about 1.8 km of beach and holds the island's highest concentration of dive schools, beach bars and fire shows. You can walk the narrow paved path running parallel to the sand to reach most places. Pick it if you want evening entertainment nearby, but skip it if you prefer quiet nights, as music carries from the beach late into the night.
- Getting there
- Ferry to Mae Haad pier, then a taxi or walk north.
- Watch out for
- Loud music from beach bars late into the night.
