About Mango Bay
Mango Bay is a secluded sandy bay on the northern tip of Ko Tao island in Ko Pha Ngan District, Surat Thani Province, Thailand. Enclosed by forested hills and granite boulders, it is known for its clear turquoise water, fringing coral reef and calm conditions ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Accessible mainly by longtail boat or steep 4WD track, it offers a quiet alternative to busier beaches and is centered around Mango Bay Boutique Resort.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small curved sandy beach backed by palm trees and hills, with very clear shallow water and a fringing coral reef close to shore. The bay is quiet and less developed than Sairee or Mae Haad, with most activity centered on snorkeling and scuba diving from the beach or boats. Facilities are limited to those of the adjacent resort including a restaurant and dive center. Access is via boat or a steep unpaved road requiring 4WD.
