West Coast Viewpoint

Ko Tao


This superb viewpoint in the middle of the island affords gloriously sprawling views of the west and northwest of the island from near two large boulders called Two View Rock. Head up along Sairee Soi 1 (look for the sign to OK View) to a fork in the road and head west for a short walk to the Viewpoint.
