Ko Tao

Added: February 03, 2008

Ko Tao (also often Koh Tao, Thai: เกาะเต่า, lit. "Turtle Island") is an island in Thailand located near the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand.

In january 2008 i used 20 days on Koh Tao.

Recharging my batteries and start diving again after 14 years.
I did stay at Sunshine (hotel) at Taa Toh Bay where the Scuba Shack/Star diving team has a Padi diving school with some of the most trained Scuba divers on this planet; Dirk, Jay, Merlyn,Vladimir & Pee Wee.

A stay that i will remember with pleasure for the rest of my life.
And i will go back there.

Recarga de pilas y empezar de nuevo de buceo después de 14 años.
Yo permanezca en el Sunshine (hotel) en la Bahía de Taa Toh donde el Scuba Shack / Star tiene un equipo de buceo Padi de buceo escuela con algunos de los más capacitados Scuba buceadores en este planeta; Dirk, Jay, Merlyn, Vladimir y Pee Wee.

Una estancia que i recordarán con agrado por el resto de mi vida.
I y volverá allí.

Koh Tao covers an area of about 21 km². Administratively it forms a tambon within the district (Amphoe) Ko Pha Ngan of Surat Thani Province. As of 2006 it's official population number in 1382[1]. The main settlement is Ban Mae Hat.

The economy of the island is almost exclusively centered around tourism, especially scuba diving.

Ko Tao was named by its first settlers for the island's turtle-like geographic shape. Coincidentally, the island is an important breeding ground for Hawksbill turtles and Green turtles.

Development of tourism has negatively impacted the health of these grounds but a breeding program organised in 2004 by the Royal Thai Navy and KT-DOC, a coalition of local scuba diving centres has reintroduced hundreds of juvenile turtles to the island's ecosystem.
