Koh Tao

Ko Tao is an amazing island in Thailand, located near the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand. It covers an area of about 21 km².

The economy of the island is almost exclusively centered around tourism, especially scuba diving.

The Island is also known for his numerous parties, even if it doesn't have the same reputation than Koh Phangan.

Ko Tao was named by its first settlers for the island's turtle-like geographic shape. The Island has become increasingly popular especially in the mid-20's backpacker crowd in search of relatively inexpensive scuba diving certification. This is the place to go for diving, but please take care of the fragile environment!
