Koh Tao
Koh Tao ('Turtle Island') has been described as offering 'heaven
under the sea', its main holiday attraction being the incredible
snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities afforded in its clean,
clear waters. Situated to the north of its more famous sisters, Koh
Samui and Koh Pha Ngan, the island is a typical tropical paradise,
with rich jungle in the centre surrounded by quiet, palm treed
beaches.
Although tourist development has exploded in recent years,
turning Koh Tao's traditional dirt-road villages into a montage of
holiday resorts, souvenir stalls and restaurants, there are still
plenty of unspoilt spots both on the coast and inland. The main
beach is Sairee Beach, stretching about one mile (2km) along the
west coast, offering a range of reasonably priced holiday
accommodation, dive centres, restaurants, beach bars and other
facilities.

Money
The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided
into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
