Journey
So we booked a boat through our hostel with a pick up included. The boat itself was probably the least organised but we managed it!
We didn't get as much time to explore Koh Tao as I would of liked but we are on a tight schedule in Asia so at least we got to go here at all.
This is a very popular and quite a touristy beach. There is music and bars and although maybe not the most beautiful beach on the island it is still great to chill at. When we were there, we spent most of our time in the water because it was so hot. We did bring snorkels however we didn't see anything, not one fish. I would advise you to check out the snorkelling trips around the island if you want to see more than we did!
Next 2 Bar
Located in Sairee beach, we actually managed to end up here both in the day and at night. In the day, there's music and cushions and chairs to sit on. They don't expect you to pay for the seats and don't hassle you to buy drinks.
I had read that Sairee Beach is where to go at night however when we got there everything had closed apart from this bar. It was only about midnight so we were a bit disappointed. Despite this, the bar had a good atmosphere and was busy (probably because everywhere was closed) and because it's on the beach even when this closed we could still chill on the beach. So all's well that ends well ay but maybe not necessarily the party island that it is made out to be.
Reef Bar
Along with several other establishments in the area, when staying at Central you get 10% off at Reef bar. They do cheapish meals and although there isn't a lot of variety they provide decent portion sizes. Plus you get a free drink in there when you arrive so you may aswell check the place out!
Obviously, Koh Tao is known for its diving but because we had such limited time we were unable to really explore the beauty of the place but maybe this is an excuse to go back...
