The age old debate of nature versus nurture is essentially null. It’s true, you are a product of your environment, but you also have the choice to change your environment. That’s the best part about traveling! Heading out on new adventures helps you grow as an individual. Making new friends, becoming acquainted with new cultures, and experiencing all the world has to offer is an incredible way to reignite your fervor for life. Not to get all sentimental and sappy on you all now. After all, this is a guide to…
Nestled in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao is known for its incredible beaches, marine life, delicious food, and breathtaking countryside. It is often regarded as a “must see” destination for people backpacking Thailand. If you’re curious about the best (cheapest) places to stay, what to pack, and what you can’t miss on a backpacking trip to Koh Tao, Rowkin is here to lay it all out for you!
Every backpacker knows the importance of traveling light. Save your back and your budget by stocking up on this expert gear.
Expert backpackers recommend stocking up on clothing made of merino wool because it’s extremely lightweight, breathable, and temperature-regulating.
Do yourself a favor and pack the World’s Smallest Earbuds that come with a dual-purpose charger. Your phone will never die, and you’ll always have your music or podcasts at reach.
This water purifier is light and compact, and is the easiest way to make sure your water is safe to drink anywhere in the world.
Lightweight and durable, if you don’t already have your perfect backpacking bag, we would highly recommend giving this one a go.
Whether your traipsing through the airport, meandering through a new city, or exploring all the wonder that Koh Tao has to offer, you’re going to want to be comfortable. Be kind to your feet, and pick up these meshy sweat-proof shoes.
As it turns out. Koh Tao is a fantastic destination for the traveler on a budget. The Summer Guesthouse and Hostel comes highly recommended, particularly if you’re traveling as a pair. The property itself is located 8 minutes from the beach, and the rooms even have air conditioning (a luxury that is basically unheard of in Rowkin HQ, San Francisco Bay Area). CK Hostelis also recommended if you are craving the clear waters of Koh Tao. Located 1,650 feet away from the famous Sairee Beach, you can basically let the calm ocean waves lull you to sleep for a rock-bottom price of $36 dollars/night. Are you a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-intolerant? Pranee Guesthouse, also right off Sairee Beach, provides a vegetarian and gluten-free breakfast each morning. Gotta save a pretty penny where you can!

A short (somewhat challenging) 15-minute hike from Chalok Baan Beach, the John Suwan Viewpoint offers a panoramic display of Koh Tao featuring Koh Tao’s dense jungle, Chalok Bay, the island of Thian Og Bay, and Shark Island.
Located in Ao Muong, Koh Tao, this view is worth the short hike, if you can fight off the solicitors that will greet you along the way. Despite this annoyance, Mango Viewpoint is 100% worth it for the experience (and highly instagrammable location). This is a great guideto making to the famous viewpoint.
Looking for a little romance? This beautiful view overlooks the Tanote Bay on the east coast of the island. Check out this guideto learn how to get there.
