DIY a great trip
that’s true to you
If my best friend would ask me "which island in Thailand should I visit?" I would definitely recommend Ko Tao with no doubt.
Why? It has everything you need and it has vibes that you cannot find in the famous sisters islands: Koh Phangan & Koh Samui.
It’s known for the best beaches in Thailand with crystal clear water and soft sand ideal for swimming & snorkelling.
We lived there for a month ‘cause we really wanted to feel like a local and explore most of the places.
In this guide made for slow travellers like me I’ll recommend you:
• where to stay to enjoy the best beaches
• delicious vegetarian/vegan restaurants & cafe
• sustainable survival shops & souvenirs
• how to be part of the community even if only for a short time
• and much more
I wish you to experience Thailand in the most genuine way to come back home full of life. 🫶🏻

Koh Tao is an amazing spot for work and play, but we gotta admit, AC-equipped cafes aren't as abundant as coconuts here! 😅
But hey, no worries! We've got your back with some seriously cool (literally!) cafes where you can escape the island heat while getting stuff done.
