Koh Tao Today it's one of Thailand's premier diving locations, but Ko Tao, or Turtle Island, has in the past been a pirate's hideout, a layover for fishermen, a prison and a badly-kept backpacker secret. While some say the island took its name thanks to its turtle-like shape, today the turtles have largely gone elsewhere to be replaced by thousands of recreational divers and other tourists. Use this Travelfish Guide to find the most comfortable place to string your hammock, the best place to get underwater and the right way to get the most out of Ko Tao.
