Chalok Ban Kao Village Market

Koh Tao, Thailand

About Chalok Ban Kao Village Market

A small neighborhood market in the quieter Chalok Ban Kao bay area with a few Thai food stalls, fresh coconuts, and a morning coffee cart. The village market captures the authentic community life of the southern bay away from the tourist development of Sairee - a more local Koh Tao experience.

Koh Tao Cabana Restaurant

The finest restaurant on Koh Tao, set on a private beach at the Koh Tao Cabana Resort, with an elevated Thai and international menu and arguably the best sunset seafood dining on the island. The grilled lobster with garlic butter, whole snapper, and fresh oysters are all outstanding - reservations recommended.

Castle Restaurant Koh Tao

A quirky restaurant built into the granite boulders on the Chalok Ban Kao hillside with some of the most interesting views and architecture of any restaurant in Thailand.
