Little Turtle Island, Koh Tao, lies in the Gulf of Thailand about 60 kilometers away from harbour town Chumphon on the mainland. With only 21 km2 of land it is the sweetest island in the gulf of Thailand. Only discovered by tourists fifteen years ago, koh Tao has a laidback and relaxing atmosphere. Due to the tropical rainforest covering the mountains only 6 km2 is inhabited, creating the perfect combination between unspoiled and comfortable tourist environments on one island.
