Things To Do In Koh Tao: 10 Best Tourist Attractions!
Koh Tao means Turtle Island in Thai. When you see the island from a distance, you’ll get a sense of how the island got its name. The mountainous island is one of three island off the eastern coast of Thailand. Compared with its neighbours Koh Phangnan and Koh Samui, it’s the tame one of the group. Koh Tao is known for its quiet beaches and natural beauty. When you want to get away from it all, this is truly one of the best places on earth.
Aow Leuk Bay
Pack your snorkelling gear and a nice picnic lunch then forget about every worry that you have ever had while you dip your feet in the crystal clear waters.
Tanot Not
Drive down the rough road, climb on top of the massive rock that defines the shoreline then dive into the sparkling water below. You’ll feel like a kid again as soon as you hit the water.
Sai Nuan Beach
In the mood for your own little secluded bit of heaven? Head down to the picturesque white sand beach of Sai Nuan.
