Summit Viewpoint Bar

Summit Viewpoint Bar prides itself as being the highest viewpoint on Koh Tao. It’s well worth a visit if you’d like to get as high up the mountain as possible. You’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding scenery and the gorgeous blue ocean as far as the eye can see. Summit Viewpoint Bar is similar in orientation to Jim View Bar but with a more elevated stance and a bit more of a view towards the north, you can see for miles over the Gulf of Thailand. On a clear day, you can even make out some of the islands that flank the mainland. The view is through the valleys at the south of the island and across to Koh Phangan and Koh Samui.  

Access

Summit Viewpoint Bar is relatively easy to access, although do be aware that the road is very steep. Some sections of the road are not in good condition. Make sure you have a reliable Island Travel Scooter or it may be difficult to make it up the steepest sections with 2 people. 

To reach the viewpoint you’ll need to follow the Hin Wong Bay road out of Sairee and take a left at the very top of the hill, signposted for Mango Bay. At the top of a steep incline, you’ll reach a junction, look for the dirt track turning on the left. Take this track for a couple of hundred metres, following it right to the end, past Jim View Bar where you’d turn off to reach Grape View Viewpoint. 

Fees

There is a 100THB entrance fee to Summit Viewpoint Bar. This also covers entry to Jim View Bar further back down the road.
