Chalok Baan Kao Bay
อ่าวโฉลกบ้านเก่า
A large, shallow bay on the southern coast of Koh Tao with many dive schools and restaurants. It suits beginners taking certification courses and families staying on the island.
Chalok Baan Kao Bay is the largest bay on the south coast of Koh Tao. The water is shallow and the waves are gentle, making it a training base for several dive schools. Accommodation, restaurants, and convenience stores are all readily available, and the atmosphere is quieter than Sairee Beach. At low tide, the sandbanks are exposed and you have to walk a long way to swim. This is the starting point for John-Suwan Viewpoint and Freedom Beach. From Mae Haad Pier, it is about a 10-minute ride in a taxi pickup.
