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.

The years after 1980 brought to Koh Tao some of the very first back packers from Koh Panghan looking for some thing different away from the masses and crowds going crazy for the Fullmoon parties on Koh Panghan. Here they found something more then just a new island to explore and soon the backpacker network was buzzing about the exiting recently found tropical island paradise of Koh Tao. Hyptomised by the beautiful beaches, the back of beyond aura, and of course the cheap living, back packers soon arrived in droves.

In the early days getting to KoTao required a treacherous boat journey from near by islands or the main land, if and when the weather & seas permitted but the population of the island continued to grow steadily all the same, even when simple life was hard without much reward. Departures & arrivals were on the local coconut boats, and even then delays of several days were common place, so back to the hammock and a world of dreams, the boat will come another day. Consequently, as its reputation for fabulous nature, outstanding marine life and beautiful landscapes got bigger, easier access was made available when better built and safer boats were brought in to cope with the large number of backpackers being attracted to the island.

Attracted by the beautiful coral reefs surrounding KoTao, and the quick growth in recreational scuba diving, a number of companies have set up diving businesses on the island, these companies in turn designed resorts for their clientele, and over the years several of these resorts have become quite elegant. These days, you can get everything from basic simple bamboo bungalows with palm leaf roofs to elegant up-market villas with their very own exclusive swimming pool.

The name KoTao means in Thai 'Turtle Island', people say that this name is from the islands shape which is simmilar like an inverted down turtle whilst other people claim its from the days when the sea surrounding Ko Tao was rich with turtles and the island was their main breeding site.
