The southwest corner of Ko Tao encompasses some terrific, hidden away beaches and bays, with a wide variety of lodgings. Be it a threadbare bamboo shack or a comfortable chalet with WiFi access, you'll find something suitable along this stretch of Turtle Island.
There's a rough and ready trail which leads from Mae Haad all the way around to Chalok Ban Kao, but if you've got anything more than a light backpack or shoulder bag, you're better off taking a longtail to your bay of choice rather than traipsing through the jungle.
After leaving the southern reach of Mae Haad the first spot you'll find is the privately owned Jan Som bay, followed by Haad Sai Nual, Laem Je Ta Klang and eventually Ao Kul Jeua. After that you're but a hop, skip and a jump from Chalok Ban Kao via the lovely Haad Saal Chao.
Ao Jan Som
The gorgeous, privately-owned beach lining Jan Som bay is one of Ko Tao's hidden gems and regardless of where you're staying on the island, try to make time for a day trip here.
There's some reasonable snorkelling offshore and a rather secluded feel to the bay, making it an ideal spot to while away a day or two with some good books and fine company. Bamboo rafts float just a little way out where you can laze and dangle your feet in amongst the fish. If you are not staying here then a 200B charge is imposed for using the beach, there's no sneaking in and you'll get charged even if you arrive by longtail.
