Mae Haad: The capital of Koh Tao and everything you need all in one place: accommodation, shops, restaurants,
banks etc.

Sairee Beach: Where the night life is. The beach side restaurants are transformed at night into lively bars and clubs.

Chalok: A sleepy bay for those who like peace and quiet.

The west side is where the majority of the diving is based. All three areas are connected by Koh Tao's only proper road.
