Koh Tao is the perfect holiday destination for deep sea divers and is popular for the Full Moon Party hosted in Ko Pha Ngan. This is regarded the diving spot of Thailand where beginners from all over the world come to learn the basics of diving. This is because the water depth is not more than 40meters and there is almost zero or very less current here. The only way you can reach here is by boat from Surat Thani or Koi Samui. One of the best places for snorkeling is the shark bay where you will get to see the small black tip reef sharks. Scuba diving is the biggest attraction here and you can find plenty of marine life in the form of turtles, barracudas and stingrays.
Real estate investments are taking place in Koh Tao but mostly in the form of vacation rentals. There are some spectacular beach properties available on this island, which cost around ß6,700,000 or €151,669.
