Big Fish Resort Koh Tao sits at Chalok Baan Kao on the island’s south bay, with direct access to Chalok Baan Kao Beach, 50 m away. The shore has a quieter village feel than Sairee’s main strip. Shark Bay Beach is 300 m away, and Freedom Beach is 400 m away. Koppee Espresso Bar & Restaurant is 150 m from the resort, while Big Bite Burger & Bar is 350 m away.
Koh Tao has no airport; visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad, and Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.1 km from the resort. The crossing from Koh Samui takes about 1.5–2 hours. An island pickup-truck taxi can cover the final road journey south to Chalok Baan Kao. Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation needed.
Ao Chalok Ban Kao is 300 m away, Sun Suwan Viewpoint 350 m, and Ao Thian 450 m. The southern coves draw snorkellers and divers; Shark Bay and Haad Sai Daeng are known for shallow-water encounters with blacktip reef sharks and turtles. Diving schools operate across Koh Tao, with more than 25 dive sites around the island. Mae Haad is the pier village, while Sairee to the north has a 1.8 km beach lined with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. Chalok Baan Kao lies on Koh Tao’s calmer south and west coast from November to March, while rougher seas can disrupt ferry crossings, particularly in November and December. A long-tail boat from Mae Haad or Sairee reaches Koh Nang Yuan in 10–20 minutes, where three islets meet at a sandbar.
Guests often appreciate the direct beach access and the nearby restaurants, shops and convenience store. Some report sand, drain odours or infrequent housekeeping, while others find the rooms tidy. Firm mattresses and pillows are another recurring criticism, and reception experiences vary.
