Yes, there are many outstanding dive sites in Europe, America and Australia. However,
Thailand is a rapidly evolving country making large strides in Technology and infrastructure.
Koh Tao has managed to embrace these changes while still offering breathtaking diving and
retaining its natural beauty.
Traditionally a deeply proud and patriotic kingdom, Thailand welcomes visitors with open
arms to discover their rich history and unique culture. While many travellers head to the busy
holiday resorts of Phuket and Koh Samui, Koh Tao is largely undiscovered an unspoiled. On
arrival you will feel a million miles away from the rat race of Western civilisation.
In addition, Thailand has everything a foreign traveller needs, banking and exchange
facilities, e-mail and internet access, English speaking pharmacies, restaurants, bars and, of
course, sunshine in abundance.
Koh Tao (Turtle Island) is a beautiful Tropical island situated in the Gulf of Thailand. The
clear blue waters surrounding Koh Tao abound with a myriad of hard and soft corals,
multicoloured tropical reef fish as well as large pelagics such as Whale Sharks, Manta rays,
Barracuda etc.
Unlike the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui, Koh Tao has its own
atmosphere and culture. There are beautiful white sandy beaches, hidden coves and of course
Koh Nangyuan - The only places in the world where three islands are interconnected by a
sand bar.
While most people come here to dive there are lots of other activities on offer, which you can
find out about in the Adventure section.
Even though the island is quite isolated, it is easy to reach from designated departure points in
Thailand. It is Koh Tao´s splendid isolation that gives it an unique atmosphere, which
compels the visitor to stay that little bit longer than they intended to.
