There were only a couple of tourist which made it nice to see without people everywhere.Buddha is amazing standing on the point looking out to sea.

we went here for 1 week, it is a perfect island, with Koh Nangyuan 10 mins away on boat (a must see), you can swim with black tip reef sharks and the fish from snorkelling are fantastic. The beach is lovely, north sairee beach is much quieter then south

Beautiful mountain backdrop, picture postcard fishing village and man made fishing lake commissioned by the King of Thailand himself. Untouched beaches and a stunning new coastal golf course. Khao Tao is an upper market version of Hua-Hin with great no tourist prices.
