Bow Thong in Koh Tao

Koh Tao, Thailand

Koh Tao is a small island (only 21 km²!) off the East coast of Thailand. Literally, 'Koh' means island and 'Tao' means turtle - hence the name Turtle Island. The tropical islands in the Gulf of Thailand are well known for their idylic sandy beaches and relaxed way of life and Koh Tao is no different.
