Bubble Bungalow stands on the hillside in Chalok Baan Kao, the quieter village around Koh Tao’s southern bay. The resort sits on a steep slope, and reaching the rooms involves several staircases, a practical consideration for anyone with mobility or knee concerns. Chalok Baan Kao Beach is 50 m away across the road, while Ao Chalok Ban Kao is 350 m away. Koppee Espresso Bar & Restaurant is 50 m from the property, and the centre of Koh Tao is 1.9 km away.

All visitors arrive on Koh Tao by boat at Mae Haad. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the resort, and pick-up truck taxis connect the pier with Chalok Baan Kao; the property also has a free shuttle service. Free private parking is available on site, but a reservation is required. The property’s steep access and staircases also matter when arriving with luggage. Island roads towards the south-east coves are steep, so scooter journeys require care.

Chalok Baan Kao gives access to beach time, snorkelling and scuba diving. Shark Bay Beach is 400 m away, Sun Suwan Viewpoint 450 m and Freedom Beach 500 m; Ao Sai Daeng is 1.3 km away. Shark Bay and the south-east coves around Ao Sai Daeng are known for blacktip reef sharks and turtles in shallow water. Koh Tao has more than 25 dive sites, including Chumphon Pinnacle, Southwest Pinnacle and Japanese Gardens. The south and west coasts are generally the calmer side from November to March, although rough seas can disrupt ferries, particularly during November–January.
