Part of the Chumphon Archipelago in the Gulf of Thailand, Ko Tao is comprised of two islands: Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan. The two islands are only 1,600 feet apart, and the surrounding waters are filled with colorful corals that make the area a world-class SCUBA diving paradise. There are plenty of diving schools on the island, and many of the resorts cater specifically to divers. However, even people who aren't interested in spending time in the water will enjoy a visit to Ko Tao; the lush jungles are riddled with hiking trails, and the nightlife regularly continues until dawn.
