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.
