We’ve heard people describe Ko Samui as being Bangkok with a beach. If you are looking for something a little more off the beaten track, with natural beauty and a few home comforts, then Ko Tao is for you. Ko Tao is developing, but is still a secluded beautiful island that the masses have yet to discover.
Ko Tao is an island that is big enough to explore, where there are activities for everyone and you can eat and drink somewhere different every night - but small enough to have a real sense of community. You can reach any point on the island within 20 minutes - so you won’t spend your whole holiday “commuting”!
The island’s natural environment is one of its biggest attractions. As you approach the island for the first time, you’ll notice the picturesque green hills and the imposing stacks of boulders. Not forgetting of course the white sandy beaches and the crystal clear waters.
It’s no wonder so many people come here on holiday and end up staying on this spectacular island.
Set your watch to island time!
Ko Tao is a place to chill out. You can relax in a hammock in the shade of a palm tree, go up into the hills and take in the overwhelming views, or simply stay on the beach, work on that tan and read the latest holiday bestseller. Of course you can always squeeze a Thai massage into your busy schedule!
