Travel to Koh Tao
Koh Tao is perhaps one of the up and coming travel destinations of Thailand, rivalling the more tourist-packed Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan with its picturesque beaches and extensive range of activities. Koh Tao, literally meaning ‘turtle island’ is an island located just off the coast of southern Thailand. It is a mecca for water-based adventures and has been beckoning diving enthusiasts well before backpackers set foot there. The small island of Koh Tao sees at least 100,000 visitors to its shores per year, with that number only set to rise as more people catch onto the island’s popularity. What perhaps sets Koh Tao apart from some of the other Thai islands is that it is actually a favourite holiday spot of locals. Thais flock to the island during holiday periods, so be sure to plan ahead if you’re looking to go then!
Being such a small island, there are sure to be accommodation options at your every turn in Koh Tao. There are resorts scattered across the island, with, for obvious reasons, the beach strips being the most popular. There are more clusters of hotels and resorts along the west and southern areas of the island, as the island’s main road running from north to south is right behind these resorts. These areas are sure to be lively, energetic and bursting with energy, with something to do at any and every hour of the day. If you’re after a more relaxed environment choose Koh Tao accommodation along the eastern side of the island, where prime diving spots and snorkelling bays are still plenty.

What to see and do in Koh Tao ?
Koh Tao is the ultimate diving destination in Thailand, with electric blue water and calm currents and some of the cheapest courses in the world. Whether you have your PADI and are looking to dive on your own or are keen to learn how to dive, Koh Tao has something for you. Diving schools jump out at you all across the island, with schools competing for students by offering deals you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Do your research before settling with a diving school and come prepared to have your mind blown away by Koh Tao’s underwater beauty.
Koh Tao also offers an endless list of health and wellness activities, ranging from day spas to yoga and meditation retreats. Shambhala, along Sairee beach, is a full-time yoga centre located in a beautifully raised wooden house with lush green trees enveloping it. Classes, which are run by a lovely yogi, last for two hours and cost 300B. Spas and massages are offered literally everywhere in Koh Tao and what makes them even better than a regular spa treatment or massage is that they are incredibly affordable. Thailand has become synonymous with spas and Koh Tao is no exception, with a vast range of treatments available.
In keeping with its hands-on approach to life, Koh Tao encourages its visitors to not only enjoy their food but to get in the kitchen and learn how to cook it for themselves. A number of restaurants across the island offer private cooking classes for guests, where you can get up close and personal with the myriad of fresh Thai ingredients and learn just how your favourite Thai dishes come together.
Whether you’re diving the deep blue seas of Koh Tao, snorkelling the crystal clear warm waters off the island’s pristine beaches, perfecting your yoga technique or learning how to cook Thai style, this magnificent island will prove to be an unforgettable holiday destination.
