Southern Thailand: the Gulf coast

Hat Sai Ree

• Accommodation

Hat Sai Ree is Ko Tao's only long beach. The strip of white sand stretches for 2km in a gentle curve, backed by a smattering of coconut palms and around twenty bungalow resorts. A narrow, mostly paved track runs along the back of the beach to the village of Ban Hat Sai Ree, a burgeoning village of supermarkets, internet outlets, a Siam City Bank currency-exchange booth with an ATM, restaurants and bars.
