Ao Mae Haad

Mae Haad is the biggest town on Ko Tao and as such has a pretty reasonable bunch of eateries and bars. Dirty Nelly's has the Irish pub -- yes, even Ko Tao apparently needs one -- and sports-bar scene sewn up courtesy of their afternoon happy hour (13:00-20:00) and big screen facilities. For more sedate meals other than Thai, swing by Cafe Del Sol for Mediterranean-style cuisine at not-outrageous prices, or try Nori's Authentic Indian opposite the Beach Club (they also deliver). Chopsticks will provide your Peking duck and dim sum fix. Sairee Beach's popular El Gringo has opened a Mae Haad location serving authentic Mexican food as well. Yang Thai Food serves up some pretty good Thai fare, as do the seafood restaurants down by the water.
