What to do and see in Koh Tao, Surat Thani Province: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

August 14, 2021 Chanda Heide

Drifting serenely in the Gulf of Thailand, the palm-fringed island of Ko Tao takes its name from the abundant sea turtles that reside on its shores. White sand beaches sheltered by steep hills – some only accessible with four-wheel drive vehicles – and 300 days of sun per year invite long afternoons of lounging.
