Practical

Position approximate: the OpenStreetMap node for Fishbowl Beach Bar, which OpenStreetMap itself marks as estimated.

Wikivoyage: Lotus Bar at north Sairee (the horizontal palm tree) has a nightly fire show and sunset happy hour; Fizz Beach Lounge (4pm–1am) has beanbags; Maya Bar at the south end is popular at sunset. Choppers Sports Bar in Sairee village hosts the Koh Tao Pub Crawl on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday (Koh Tao Complete Guide). Land on the beach by dinghy in calm conditions only; see Sairee Beach Anchorage for the moorings.
