Must-see places on Koh Tao: Koh Nang Yuan Islands (เกาะนางยวน) My rating: 5/5 stars! This small, private archipelago of three islands offers the most beautiful scenery on Koh Tao and one of Thailand's most famous views from its elevated viewpoint. Gorgeous beaches on sandbars connecting the islands, a legendary viewpoint, and a great snorkeling spot—if there's one place you absolutely must see on Koh Tao, it's this! The challenge is visiting when it's not too crowded. John-Suwan Viewpoint My opinion: starstarstarstar4/5 This viewpoint, ideal for watching the sunrise, is located in the south of Koh Tao. You climb to the top via a path near Freedom Beach. This is the easiest viewpoint to climb on Koh Tao.
