Ko Tao Vacations, Ko Tao Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Koh Tao is a small island, about 21 km2, located on the east coast of Thailand, between Surattani and Chumphon.

The island is most famous for its fantastic diving opportunities, and there's plenty of dive centers all around. The atmosphere is very relaxed and non-formal. Snorkelling is also good.
Has some gorgeous scenic views and beautifull beches. Tourism is minimal which makes it for a nice getaway. There are a few bars there and of course great street food.

There's really only one proper road, linking the south end (Chalok) with the pier in Mae Haad and the small town Sairee on the west side of the island. For other locations, there are dirtroads of various conditions, you can move around with an ATV or a motor bike, or go by boat.

To get there, you can take a ferry, or a more expensive speedboat, from Koh Samui (wich has an airport) and Koh Phangan. There's also ferry connection from Chumphon on the mainland.
