If you are looking for an epic, local and secret sunset place on Koh Tao, you have found the right place. Since it is a small tropical island, there are many sunset places where you can see how the sun disappears behind the horizon.

Some of the most popular are Sairee Baech or John Suwan Lookout. The truth, however, is that most regular spots can get pretty crowded during the high season. In this guide, however, I will show you the best most secret viewpoint for the sunset on Koh Tao, which you have probably never heard of.

In my opinion this is the best secret sunset on Koh Tao, let me show you why.

As you can see in the picture above, you have a perfect view of Koh Nang Yuan when the sun goes down on the horizon right next to it. This place is also very quiet and requires a little local know-how to reach it, so it is perfect for a relaxed viewpoint on the sunset.

where to spend the night on Koh Tao-accommodation leader

There are several options for travelers who want to spend the night on the island of Koh Tao. In general, most people like to stay near Sairee Beach to be close to all highlights and activities. However, you can also stay near Mae Head or a little further up the mountain from Sairee.

To save you time to search on the Internet, I have listed some of the best overnight accommodation on Koh Tao below.

hostel right next to the Mae Head Pier for $ 6 / night - Black Wood Hostelda's Black Wood Hostel is one of the best rated hostels on Koh Tao and is only a 5 -minute walk from Mae Head Pier. This is the perfect accommodation when you arrive with a later boat or search for a central hostel near the pier.

So you come to the Secret Sunset Viewpoint on Koh Tao

To reach the secret viewpoint for the sunset on Koh Tao, you have to drive towards Dusit Bancha Resort. This resort is located in the northeast of the island, right in front of Koh Nang Yuan. The secret place for the sunset is called Nang Yuan Terrace.

It shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to drive here when you come from Sairee Beach. Those who are near Cha Lok can count on a 15 to 20-minute journey.

As soon as you have reached the resort, you must park your moped in the parking lot. Go down to the resort until you reach a restaurant with a view of the water. Although I haven't eaten here yet, it is certainly an epic place to eat dinner or drink a few beer. If you like to stick to a lousy backpacker budget, like me, just go around or through the restaurant until you reach a staircase that leads to the water.

Congratulations, you have reached the secret place for sunset on Koh Tao. Nang-Yuan terrace.

Viewption Nang Yuan Terrace

As soon as you have reached the viewpoint, you can relax on the terrace or walk on the rocks to the edge of the water. During the three months I spent on Koh Tao, we often visited this sunset after a diving day.

You will be rewarded with a panoramic view of Koh Nang Yuan and the sunset of the island right next to it. You can also look towards Sairee while watching nightlife when the sunsets flare up.

Arrival to the island of Nang Yuan from the Nang Yuan Terrasse

You can also reach Nang Yuan from this place during the day. Although the boat drivers are geared towards travelers with a higher budget who may spend the night in the hotel, it is the fastest place to reach the double -headed island.

longtail boats run at this place to pick up tourists. I have not tried to get to Koh Nang Yan from this place, but depending on how busy they are, you may be able to negotiate a drop-off price for the same costs as on the Sairee Beach. This should not be more than 150 baht per boat.

Alternative: Sunset SUPS on the Sairee Beach

If you want to see the best sunset place from the water, it is also possible to rent a SUP all over Sairee. If you are sure, paddling offers an even better view of the sunrise at this point.

fly with a drone from the viewpoint to Koh Nang Yuan

If you brought a drone to Koh Tao with you, you could be tried to fly you over Koh Nang Yuan. In my opinion, the best place to fly it is from this secret viewpoint to the sunset. This is because it is generally always calm and they are not bothered when flying.

With a distance of about 300 meters from the terrace, Koh Nang Yuan is easy to reach with a drone. I took the picture below from Koh Nang Yuan during the day. Alt = "The best things you can do on Koh Tao">
