Welcome to Ko Tao เกาะเต่า, what means Turtle Island. In the past the waters in the area had been rich with turtles. Discovered in the eighties by the backpackers Ko Tao today is one of the major dive sites in Thailand with "the best coral by far", as Tezza notes. But there remain some laid back locations on the east and north coasts as well as in the south-east and south-west.
Ko Tao is part of Samui Plus, the program for vaccinated international tourists, who come to visit Ko Samui. Many hotels now have the SHA Plus certificate. Read more about Samui Plus.
