John-Suwan Viewpoint
จุดชมวิวจอห์นสุวรรณ
A viewpoint atop giant boulders at the southern tip of Koh Tao, offering a single vista over both Shark Bay and Chalok Baan Kao Bay.
John-Suwan Viewpoint sits on the hilltop of the headland at the island's southernmost tip. From the entrance near Freedom Beach, the climb takes about 15 to 20 minutes along a mountain path. The final stretch requires scrambling over large boulders on hands and feet. From the top you can see Shark Bay to the east and Chalok Baan Kao Bay to the west, making it Koh Tao's most iconic panoramic photo spot. A ticket of roughly 50 to 100 baht is charged at the entrance. Wear non-slip shoes, as the rocks are slippery after rain, and there are no railings on the boulders.
