Koh Tao Island - Divers Paradise

Koh Tao means Turtle Island, because in the past the waters in the area were rich with sea turtles

Koh Tao, little more than 21 square kilometers, is located about 70 km east of the coastline between Suratthani and Chumphon, in the Gulf of Thailand.

 Koh Tao means Turtle Island, because in the past the waters in the area were rich with sea turtles, nowadays they have mostly moved on to other breeding grounds.

Initially the island was not inhabited, there was only the occasional fisherman from the neighbouring islands, looking for shelter in a storm or just taking a break before continuing his tiresome journey.- Koh Tao Info
