Things to know

Koh Tao, or “Turtle Island,” is a diver’s paradise nestled in the Gulf of Thailand. Known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and friendly island vibe, it attracts adventurers and beach lovers alike. With scenic viewpoints, chilled beach bars, and world-class diving, Koh Tao is unforgettable.

 

Best time to visit

The best time to visit Koh Tao is from March to September, when the sea is calm, visibility is excellent for diving, and the weather is warm and sunny. The wet season (October to February) brings occasional rain, but the island remains open and lush—perfect for quieter getaways and lower prices.
