HOW TO GET HERE

The best way to get around Koh Tao is to rent a scooter for 150 Baht per day to explore all four corners of the island.

There are dozens of scooter rental stores in and around town and most accommodations offer scooter rentals too.

Love Koh Tao has great road access and plenty of parking spaces at the car park situated at the entrance.

BEST TOURS IN KOH TAO

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

There is an entry fee of 20 Baht to take photos at the Love Koh Tao viewpoint or alternatively, if you buy something to eat or drink then the entry fee is waived.

It’s a fantastic spot to watch the sunrise as it faces east over the Gulf of Thailand. If you’re not a morning person, no worries, Love Koh Tao is also a great spot for lunch and freshly squeezed fruit juice.

There are a number of great photo opportunities here including the @lovekohtao sign, the netted beds, and the big colorful welcome sign.

Love Koh Tao is one of my favorite viewpoints on the island and is great for a short visit in between some beach hopping.
