Near Me Hostel and Bistro

4.9(860 reviews)

Near Me Hostel and Bistro is a dual-purpose accommodation and dining spot located on Koh Tao, one of Thailand's most popular islands for diving and beach travel. The combination of hostel and bistro under one roof makes it a practical base for budget-conscious travellers who want good food without having to venture far, and the consistently high visitor rating across a substantial number of reviews suggests it delivers reliably on both fronts. The bistro side of the operation draws in both guests and outside visitors, serving food throughout the day from 8am through to 11pm, seven days a week. The extended hours make it a flexible option whether travellers are looking for an early breakfast before a dive, a casual lunch, or a late dinner after a day on the water. The relaxed island setting of Koh Tao lends the venue a laid-back atmosphere typical of the area. Reservations can be made through the venue's online booking system, which covers the accommodation side of the business. Travellers visiting purely to dine can walk in during operating hours, though it is worth noting that Koh Tao can get busy during peak season between December and April, when the island sees heavier tourist traffic. Arriving early in the evening is a sensible way to secure a table without a long wait.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
