KOH
TAO is the fantastic travelling and diving
site in Thai Gulf. Just beloved and well known among
Thai in the last recent years but among foriegn
traveller it's mean diver paradise well known by
the beautiful shade of the sea. That we can say
the very best on earth.

KOH TAO consist of two main islands
: KOH TAO and KOH NANG-YUAN almost all are mountain
area only 30% are plain. There are three villages
which are "BAN HAAD SAI REE" , "BAN
MAE HAAD" and "BAN CHALOK BAAN KAO"

45 km. from Phangan, the nearest island. This made
it a rather distance place in Thai eastern sea.

like a turtle. There are curves of natural beauty

the north eastern monsoon from November to March.
However, there are several island to hide it from
the wind.
Traveller can make a trip to KOH TAO island all
through the year. Bangalows are available at rest
area on the beach including jeep. motorcycle and
mountain bike for rent.

There are also boat and diving
center. During the day, we hardly see traveller
since they are out to sea diving task... early in
the morning till the sun down. Interesting site
are diving area for skin dive or scuba dive... which
one do you prefer.
Right! one full day program for diving and travelling
around in nature, rent a boat or take taxi boat
all available at MAE HAAD PIER. But for those who
appreciate scuba diving, a day is certainly not
enough to search for the beauty of underwater world
here. Since there are several different places for
scuba loving. 3 to 4 days may be more suitable.
At diving center, scuba training courses are available.

Take some courses for diving certificate
which meet world standard request wherever you will
be. Diving and Travelling places are all different
