Koh Tao

Koh Tao

Koh Tao is a small island located on the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand, covering an area of approximately 21 square kilometers. Due to its turtle-like shape and being an important breeding base for hawksbill and green sea turtles, it is also known as Turtle Island. It is Thailand’s most famous diving destination.

Koh Tao is the best place for diving in the Gulf of Siam and also the largest diving training center in Southeast Asia, home to numerous diving schools. Obtaining a diving license in Koh Tao is much more affordable than in other places, attracting a large number of diving enthusiasts and adventurers. The waters around Koh Tao boast rich marine landscapes—whether you're diving or simply floating on the surface, it's an extraordinary experience. In addition, Koh Tao is far from the crowds and exceptionally peaceful, making it a top choice for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy tranquility. The island has convenient transportation, well-established and relatively inexpensive living facilities, and with increasing development efforts by the Thai government, it is attracting more and more tourists.
