The Blue Chair is 50 m away, Living Juices is 150 m away, and Coffee Shop & Nitro by the Beer Masons is 100 m away.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1.9 km from the hostel. Pick-up truck taxis serve the island, and scooters are another way to travel between its villages and bays; roads to east-coast coves can be steep. Mae Haad and Sairee connect by a flat brick path beside the water, a walk of about 15 minutes between the two settlements. Sairee Center has no on-site parking.
