Grab a plant-based meal. This vegan restaurant is open late, so you can eat comfortably before heading out.
17:32
Walk from the restaurant to Alvaro Diving Koh Tao. Use this time to check your gear or just relax in the friendly atmosphere before the main event.
18:02
Walk 30 minutes ENE to Ao Leuk. Arrive here 15 minutes before sunset to find a spot facing WSW. The sun will dip below the horizon in the west-southwest, painting the sky in evening colors.
18:47
Walk 13 minutes back towards the anchor area. Head to Horizon bar. It is open until 21:00 on weekdays (Su-Fr), making it the perfect spot for a nightcap after the sun goes down.
Local tip
Ao Leuk is a 30-minute walk from the anchor. Wear comfortable shoes for the return trip in the dark.
