Description

Mama O Chai Koh Tao is a campsite on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, with bungalows beside the sand and views across the sea. The accommodation includes beachfront and garden-view bungalows, with options for couples and a larger unit for up to three people.

Rooms range from 20 to 25 m² and have a private bathroom with a shower, a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Some bungalows have air conditioning, while others use a fan; terraces and balconies are common features. Sea-facing and garden-facing options make the different settings clear when choosing a room. Free WiFi is available in the rooms, and free private parking is possible at a nearby location.

A sun terrace, balconies and a shared lounge with a TV area provide places to spend time outside the bungalows. Sairee Beach is 50 m away, with restaurants, shops and dive schools along the island’s main western beach. Guests often value the access to the sand and the quieter atmosphere, although some feedback points to maintenance and cleanliness concerns.

Rooms

7 room types · 20–25 m²

The bungalows are arranged in seven room options, with sea-facing choices beside the beach and garden-view alternatives. All have a private bathroom with a shower, a balcony and a terrace, and each accommodates two people except the 25 m² Bungalow with Fan, which sleeps up to three. The two beachfront options are 20 m² and differ in their bed arrangement: one has a large bed, while the other has two single beds.

Garden-view accommodation includes air-conditioned bungalows as well as fan-cooled choices. The air-conditioned garden-view rooms are 20 m² and come with either a large bed or two single beds. Standard Bungalow with Fan options also look onto the garden and offer those two bed layouts. The larger sea-view bungalow combines a fan with space for three and a single bed alongside a large bed.

Mama O Chai Koh Tao is on Sairee Beach, beside the long western shore that forms the island’s main beach strip. Sairee Beach is 50 m away, and the village has dive schools, restaurants, shops and beach bars along its 1.8 km of sand. Guest feedback describes the surroundings as peaceful and set back from loud bars and live music, while still a short walk from Sairee village. The immediate draw is direct access to the beach and views of the sea from some bungalows.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the property, and a flat brick path connects Mae Haad and Sairee along the shore in about 15 minutes on foot. Pick-up truck taxis also serve the island. Samui International Airport is 65.1 km away and Chumphon Airport is 84.1 km away; either airport journey involves an onward boat crossing. Free private parking is possible at a nearby location, and street parking is available.

For a view over the coast, Coconut Viewpoint is 1.4 km away. Sairee is also a departure point for boat trips to Nangyuan Island, 2.7 km away, where three small islets are joined by sandbars. Ao Hin Wong is 2 km away on the island’s east coast, known for sheltered coves and coral close to shore. Scuba diving is a major activity around Koh Tao, with sites including Japanese Gardens and Chumphon Pinnacle. Sairee and the west coast are generally on the calmer side from November to March; the eastern bays are calmer from April to October.
