Within easy reach of the mainland of Southern Thailand, accessable by high speed boats, lies the beautiful Tropical Island of Koh Tao. From the moment that you set foot on the ferry pier after the boat trip across, the charm of this small desert island gets to you.

Until the advent of tourism in the late 80's, fishing and coconut farming were virtually the only sources of income on Koh Tao. Both these industries remain today, although diving tourism has far outpaced these in terms of size. Koh Tao now has a reputation as a diving Mecca, and rightly so as it boasts over 20 dive sites, all within a 45-minute boat ride of the island.

All the beaches have a variety of restaurants, supermarkets and bars. ATM,s are now a common sight on Koh Tao along with convenience stores to provide you with your daily neccesities. Although nightlife relies on parties held on alternate nights by the few beach bars. Life is much more low-key than Samui, especially since most people are up early for diving!

Weather on Koh Tao is generally very, very agreeable with a temperature of around 25 degrees C. in the cool season (from November to February) to highs of 35 degrees plus in the hot dry season (from March to June). Although humid at times, the heat is never oppressive, cooled as Koh Tao is by the gentle sea breezes from The Gulf of Thailand.
