Must-visit places in Koh Tao

Koh Nang Yuan islands

เกาะนางยวน
My opinion :
starstarstarstarstar
This small private archipelago of 3 islands offers the most beautiful landscape in Koh Tao and one the most famous views in Thailand from its perched viewpoint. Pretty beaches on sandbanks that connect the islands with each other, mythical viewpoint and nice snorkeling spot, if there is a must-do visit in Koh Tao, this is it ! The challenge will be to do it when there are not too many people.

John-Suwan Viewpoint

จุดชมวิวจอห์น-สุวรรณ
My opinion :
starstarstarstar
This viewpoint, ideal for watching the sunrise, is located in the South of Koh Tao island . You climb to its top by a path near Freedom Beach. This is the easiest viewpoint to climb in Ko Tao.
