点评:I would only recommend for younger people or people with good fitness levels...
The 4km steep road leading down to Mango Bay is only the beginning, the road often disappears & becomes a dirt track with channels which have been carved away from heavy rain whuch your wheels get caught in, you could easily drop your bike even if you're an experienced rider. Once you finally make it to the parking area, you start the decent down hundreds of steps, part way down you get to a barrier with 100 baht entrance fee, we don't usually go places we need to pay to go to but we felt committed at this point, we should have known (we were definitely predicting it as we know how they operate lol!) So once down at the bottom we realise the bay is not directly at the bottom but a long ardios & hazardous climb accross & over giant boulders, I found this part quite fun but I was in flip flops & found it quite difficult to navigate as the rocks were massive & no obvious path as such, there were a few pieces of wood in places that bridged the gaps, but was very cautious about puttimg my full faith in them as could be old & snap etc, you could be badly hurt if you fell between the gaps & some are a long drop, I recommend wearing trainers & taking a rucksackinstead of a hand held bwach bag so you can use both hands to climb...& wouldn't take babies or toddlers. The bay itself was nice, the sand isn't soft, very coarse pieces of shell type sand. To get back up was harder work because the hundreds of steps up in that heat was so difficult, my calves are feeling it today!
To conclude: There are loads of other easier bays & beaches to get to on Koh Tao without the entrance fee & just as nice or nicer!
FYI Snorkeling is best at Tanote.
Nb. Mango Bay... it will be fun for some but very dangerous for others!!

通往芒果湾的4公里陡峭山路只是个开始,这条路经常会消失,变成一条土路,路面布满被暴雨冲刷出的沟壑,车轮很容易陷进去,即使是经验丰富的骑手也很容易摔车。终于到达停车场后,就开始沿着数百级台阶往下走。走到一半,你会看到一个收费栏,上面写着100泰铢的入场费。我们通常不会去需要付费的地方,但当时我们觉得既然来了就得付钱,其实我们早该想到的(我们肯定早就预料到了,因为我们知道他们的套路,哈哈!)。到了谷底,我们才发现海湾并不在谷底,而是需要攀爬一段漫长而危险的路,翻越巨大的岩石。我觉得这段路还挺有意思的,但我当时穿着人字拖,感觉很难走,因为岩石太大了,而且也没有明显的路径。有些地方用木头搭桥,但我非常小心,不敢完全信任它们,因为它们可能很旧,容易断裂等等。如果你掉进缝隙里,可能会受重伤,有些地方落差很大。我建议穿运动鞋,背双肩包而不是手提包,这样你就可以腾出双手攀爬……而且不建议带婴儿或小孩。幼儿。海湾本身很漂亮,但沙子不软,是那种很粗糙的贝壳状沙子。返回海滩更费劲,因为在那种炎热的天气里爬几百级台阶实在太难了,我的小腿今天都酸痛得厉害!
总之:涛岛上还有很多其他更容易到达的海湾和海滩,无需门票,而且景色同样优美,甚至更胜一筹!
友情提示:塔诺特是浮潜的最佳地点。
注意:芒果湾……对某些人来说可能很有趣,但对另一些人来说却非常危险!!
