Ko Tao
Added: February 03, 2008
Ko Tao (also often Koh Tao, Thai: เกาะเต่า, lit. “Turtle Island”) is an island in Thailand located near the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand.
In january 2008 i used 20 days on Koh Tao.
Recharging my batteries and start diving again after 14 years.
I did stay at Sunshine (hotel) at Taa Toh Bay where the Scuba Shack/Star diving team has a Padi diving school with some of the most trained Scuba divers on this planet; Dirk, Jay, Merlyn,Vladimir & Pee Wee.
A stay that i will remember with pleasure for the rest of my life.
And i will go back there.

Koh Tao covers an area of about 21 km². Administratively it forms a tambon within the district (Amphoe) Ko Pha Ngan of Surat Thani Province. As of 2006 it’s official population number in 1382[1]. The main settlement is Ban Mae Hat.
The economy of the island is almost exclusively centered around tourism, especially scuba diving.
Ko Tao was named by its first settlers for the island’s turtle-like geographic shape. Coincidentally, the island is an important breeding ground for Hawksbill turtles and Green turtles.
Development of tourism has negatively impacted the health of these grounds but a breeding program organised in 2004 by the Royal Thai Navy and KT-DOC, a coalition of local scuba diving centres has reintroduced hundreds of juvenile turtles to the island’s ecosystem.
