You can use Sairee Junction as a starting point and walk or ride a scooter up the road that will take you to Hin Wong bay.

Follow the road up heading east until you reach Tarna Align resort, passing Island Muay Thai and Koh Tao Gym and Fitness.

Once you reach the resort, stay on the road to the left and continue up the steep, main road until you see signposts for the Viewpoint. Take the left turn off the main road and follow the route.

The narrow road begins to move deeper into the jungle and is a good quality road whilst you have concrete. You will pass a small stall selling drinks if you need refreshments.

Eventually you will arrive at Jim’s Bar, which is another opportunity to rehydrate. The bar sits at a fork in the road and you need to go left.

If you take the fork to the right the path will take you down towards Mango Bay, which is a much longer hike and the road slowly vanishes into a dirt track.

Limited Road Access to Mango Bay Viewpoints

Although the road access up to Mango viewpoint is generally good, some of the roads are very steep and in places are poorly concreted.

This can mean that you may have to push a scooter some of the way to get to the top, so if you are an inexperienced rider it is probably more sensible to walk.

Wear Strong Footwear

The poorly concreted roads also make comfortable footwear essential and despite there being a location where you can buy drinks, it is advisable to carry water with you just in case.

Coming back down from Mango bay viewpoints you simply reverse your route, which will probably only take just over 30 minutes if you are walking as it is mostly downhill.
