Situated in Koh Tao, 1.5 km from Chalok Baan Kao Beach, Wonderland Jungle Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The property is located 7.3 km from Ao Muong, 400 metres from Chalok Viewpoint and 2.4 km from Shark Island. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Everything ... Where to start , a home away from home. This place felt like a safe haven in a world of chaos. From the staff to the guests to the Wonderful owners who brought Wonderland Into reality. If you are reading this I fear you will regret not booking a stay here. I came for 5 days on the first I already knew I wanted to extend. I made amazing friends who really elevated my experience here. I wish I could have stayed longer , it felt like a dream. Even the staff were once wonderland guests who loved it so much they didn't want to leave. That what happens you get sucked down the rabbit hole and don't really want to climb back up ! Only thing I can recommend is RENT A SCOOTER, it will just make the experience there a little more enjoyable as it is not a far distance from the beach but those hills in the heat will make you regret not paying 200baht/day for a scooter 😅 Thank you wonderland for giving me only but happiness. I wish to return very soon in the future ... Till we meet again.
