Taunggok is a sleepy Rakhine town that can easily be explored on foot. It is also an access point for travellers between Sittwe and Ngapali beach; you can take a boat from Sittwe to Taunggok and a bus or car on to Ngapali.

There are no hotels in Taunggok, only a few small guesthouses located on the street of, or nearby, the bus station. The acccommodation is basic, but sufficent for brief stopover.
