Ko Tao Marine Park is one of the top diving destinations in Thailand. More low key than other highly visited islands, Ko Tao is known for it's laid back feel and breezy lifestyle. But the diveshops abound and offer some of the best scuba and snorkeling trips in the Gulf of Thailand, and there are a variety of restaurants and bars to explore at your leisure. If you want the killer beaches and superb diving, but not the backpacking herds, head to Ko Tao. To get there, you can catch a high-speed day ferry from Surat Thani or Chumphon. Ask Durian at K-LEO about advance tickets and accommodations, she can help you a with variety of activities and bungalows on the island.
