Koh Tao Two View Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

We arrived a little before they opened, and the owner was extremely friendly and talkative despite the language barrier. The food and drinks were great. The ambiance was quite nice, and the views were incredible.

Note that the 100B fee is only to go further up the trail to Tanote peak. I wish other reviews had made that clear. You can walk from Sairee Beach then down the road on the other side to Tanote Bay / Aow Luek without paying the fee. The fee is only if you want to go out of your way to push up even higher.

Also, the trail down towards Sairee is just a washed out sand/mud ravine (an arroyo is the best word for it). Wear good footwear and expect a strenuous hike despite the short distance/elevation. The sand can be slippery even when dry, so I would think it would be a lot easier to come up from Sairee then down to Sairee. Plan your route accordingly if possible.

Oh, and wear tons of bugspray for the hike on the...

Well. This is an experience. To preface: we wanted a Sunset view and unfortunately were met by a rolling thunderstorm. No ones fault. Upon arrival and watching a cat maul a dead squirrel, being eyeballed by a nearly out of date dog with 3 and half feet, and a siamese-looking dip-dyed cat, the family were very welcoming. We arrived out of season so didn't have to pay anything to wander about and have a look at the views. Which we witnessed an impressive storm roll in. Decided it was for our benefit to go back downstairs where the family were very accommodating in making a table for us 4. The dog and cat were playing hide and seek which was very amusing and then ended up purr-roaring under the table (highly amusing) food: massaman curry was delightfully spicy, white wine was delicious and the spring rolls were hotter than the sun (and a bit greasy) not to be associated with the top- less chef in...

This is a nice restaurant with friendly staff and the best view of Koh Tao. Drink is quite reasonably priced for the location.

However, Google map does not show correct information about how to get to this place. While the map says that there is a road coming up from Sairee Beach side, this road ends at Phandara Luxury Resort and is not connected to Koh Tao Two View Bar & Restaurant. There is a very rough unpaved passway from Phandara Luxury Resort to Two View Bar & Restaurant. It has lots of loose rocks and is not recommended for regular fun hikers. This is not passable for bikes or cars. Instead, a private road is connected to Two View Bar and Resort and several viewpoints above it from the southern side of the island. This road, which does not appear on Google map, is unpaved but passable for...
