Khun Ying House

Khun Ying House is a 2-star guest house in Sairee Beach on Koh Tao, 100 m from Sairee Beach. The five room types include double and triple layouts, with private bathrooms in two categories and shared bathrooms in the other three. Air-conditioned rooms, fan rooms and options with a refrigerator allow you to choose between different arrangements; TVs and seating areas are common. The three-person rooms have one double bed and one single bed.

A shared kitchen is available, alongside the tour desk, luggage storage, a shared lounge/TV area and daily housekeeping. Other facilities include cooking classes, snorkelling, diving and fishing. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation, WiFi is free throughout the property, and a shuttle service is available. Upper floors are accessible by stairs only.

Sairee Beach, nearby restaurants and shops are a short walk away, while Mae Haad pier links the island with Koh Phangan, Koh Samui and the mainland. Guests praise tidy rooms and friendly staff, although some report noise from traffic, corridors and air-conditioning units.

Khun Ying House offers five room types measuring 20–24 m², with double rooms for up to two people and triple rooms for up to three. The Standard Double Room and Standard Triple Room have private bathrooms; the other three types use shared bathroom facilities. Air conditioning is included in the private-bathroom double and triple rooms, as well as the Standard Double Room with Shared Bathroom. The two fan options are the double and triple rooms explicitly named with a fan.

Seating areas and TVs appear across the room range, while some room types add a refrigerator and satellite channels. The Standard Double Room with Shared Bathroom has air conditioning, a shower and a hairdryer, whereas the fan rooms provide a refrigerator. Room sizes are closely grouped, so bathroom privacy, cooling and capacity are the clearest distinctions when choosing between the options.

Khun Ying House’s practical facilities cover transport, island activities and everyday needs. A tour desk, shuttle service, public transport tickets and luggage storage are available, alongside daily housekeeping. Activities include cooking classes, snorkelling, diving and fishing. There is a shared lounge/TV area, lockers, an on-site ATM and a safety deposit box. Air conditioning and fans are available, and upper floors are accessible by stairs only.

Free private parking is possible on site without advance reservation, while WiFi is available throughout the property at no charge. A shared kitchen, electric kettle, refrigerator and tea and coffee maker support simple meal preparation and drinks. Cable and satellite channels and TV are among the media options, and valet parking is also available.

Khun Ying House is in Sairee Beach, Koh Tao’s best-known west-coast settlement, where a sandy shoreline runs beside dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. Sairee Beach is 100 m away, and the beach extends for about 1.8 km along the coast. The village is the island’s main strip for evening dining and nightlife, with more activity around its southern end and quieter stretches farther north. The west-facing shore looks towards Koh Nang Yuan at sunset, while the beach and local dive operators make it easy to arrange a day around swimming, snorkelling or diving.

Mae Haad, the pier village, is the main ferry gateway to Koh Tao. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1.9 km from the house; the flat brick path linking Mae Haad and Sairee takes about 15 minutes to walk between the two settlements, while island pick-up truck taxis are useful with luggage. Ferries connect Koh Tao with Thong Sala on Koh Phangan in 45–90 minutes, and crossings from Koh Samui take around 1.5–2 hours. Khun Ying House has free private parking on site and a shuttle service. There is no airport on the island, so air travellers continue to a ferry pier on Koh Samui or the mainland before crossing.

From Sairee, long-tail boats reach Koh Nang Yuan, where three islets are joined by sandbars; the island attraction is 2.8 km away, and day visitors leave by about 17:00. Coconut Viewpoint is 1.3 km from the house and Top of the rock is 1.4 km away, both looking over the bay and coastline. Snorkelling, diving and fishing are available activities, and the tour desk can help with transport or excursions. Sairee and the other west and south coasts tend to be calmer from November to March, while October to December brings rougher Gulf seas and ferry cancellations are possible in poor conditions.
