                 Thailand - Koh Tao

Koh Tao In General

Koh Tao was first discovered by backpackers a decade ago. Is a small island located off the coast of Ko Pha Ngan and Ko Samui. Koh Tao is also called Turtle Island and has been described as offering 'heaven under the sea', its main attraction being the incredible snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities afforded in its clean, clear waters. The Ko Tao's present day economy is focused almost exclusively on tourism. The small island is relatively easy to explore, and motorbike rentals and taxis are abundant.

Sairee Beach

Sairee Beach is the longest and most popular beach, facing the mainland, which can be seen on a clear day. It stretches almost 2 km from north to south on the west side of the island. This crescent-shaped beach, has a good choice of accommodation and places to eat making it a popular spot for travellers. Along the beach there are plenty of shops and restaurants. It's also a perfect spot for snorkelling as the coral reef can be found just 100 metres off the beach.

Koh Tao Massage

Koh Tao has always attracted those in search of a place to relax and recharge, with many new age centres and many massage, reflexology and beauty salons scattered along the beach road. Thai massage draws significant influence from India's ancient Ayurvedic traditions of medical practice. Traditional Thai Massage is a fusion of eastern bodywork techniques ranging from Acupressure to Yoga for a truly Zen-like experience.
 

Rocky/Shark Bay

Just on the other side of a strip of land from Chalok Baan Kao beach is the private owned Shark Bay. Shark Beach has excellent snorkelling opportunities where sharks can be sighted. One unusual resort popular with backpackersis situated in the rocks on the southern side of the bay. The beach is quite small with grass, coconut palms and tropical vegetation right on the edge. The beach is more active than its neighbour beach. From Rocky Bay you have a nice view of Shark Island.

Koh Tao Nightlife

Ko Tao is nothing to do with Samui and Ko Pha Ngan but Sairee Beach has it all for party seekers, bars pubs and clubs some with live music and local DJs. Some of the most famous bars is Lotus Bar, Touch Beach Bar, The Deck, Dry Bar and Cave bar, Lotus Bar located under the Horizontal Palm Tree on north Sairee Beach. The bars are generally a little more chilled, and a lot less crowded than the huge full moon parties but with a bucket of Thai Mekong whiskey being passed round the dance floor you can quickly find yourself lost in a party that will continue through to the early morning.For More...
