Information about Koh Tao

oh Tao is to the northeast of Surat Thani, about 38 kilometers from Koh Phangan, and about 64 kilometers away from Chumphon.

Since 2005 it is now really easy to get to Koh Tao. You can drive with one of the high speed catamaran boats. You can also arrive from one of the neighboring islands (Koh Phangan or Koh Samui).

Diving in and around Koh Tao's beautiful coral reefs is the islands main attraction. Resorts on Koh Tao offer a wide range of accommodation to fit most budgets.

Traveling around the island and visiting other beaches and bays pretty easy.. Just off the concrete main road you have to be careful when driving on dirty roads. Pick -ups and taxies can be found almost everywhere.

Attracted by the outstanding coral reefs surrounding Ko Tao, and the growth in sport scuba diving, a number of companies have set up diving businesses on the island, these companies in turn designed exclusive resorts for their customers, and over the years several of these resorts have become quite elegant. These days, you can get everything from cheap simple wooden bungalows with thatched roofs to exotic up-market villas with their very own exclusive swimming pool.

The years after 1980 brought to Koh Tao some of the first back packers from Koh Panghan who were looking for something new away from the crowds & masses going crazy for the full moon parties on Kohphangan. Here they discovered something more then just a new island to explore and soon the travel community had a new topic to talk about about the wonderful recently found tropical island paradise of Ko Tao. In ore by the tropical beaches, the back of beyond aura, and of course the cheap living, backpackers soon arrived in droves.

KoTao island is located approximately 70 km east of the coastline between Chumporn and Surat Thani in the Siamese Gulf and it is about 21 square kilometers in size - not really big ... but not too small.

The name KoTao means in thai language 'Turtle Island', people say that this name is because of the islands shape which is meant to look like an inverted down turtle whilst others claim its from the days when the water around the island was rich with turtles and Koh Tao was their main breeding site.
