Koh Tao (Turtle Island ) is
located in the Gulf of Thailand, appr. 65km west of Chumphon.
The shoreline of this small (21sqkm ) island
consists of white, sandy beaches with palm trees and impressive
granite cliffs. Inland you find mountains covered by tropical rain
forest. The only village "Mae Haad" offers Thai and international
restaurants, the post office, a medical center, travel agents and
plenty of opportunities for shopping. In the evening you can enjoy a
tropical cocktail at the beach bar while watching the sunset.
The nearest airport is on Koh Samui, from there several speedboats
and ferries connect the two islands. On the mainland the
easiest access is from Chumphon, by night boat or speed/ express boat
in the morning. All travel arrangements can be made trough Koh Tao
Cottage International Dive Resort.
