The main street at Koh Tao.As of
December 2005, Koh Tao had about 150 resorts offering accommodation and
approximately 50 bars/clubs. Most of the resorts are still bungalow-style, not hotel/resort style. Accommodation
prices are lower than nearby Koh Samui. |

Most dive shops offer scuba diving PADI certification classes as well as hostel / bungalow accommodation. Accommodation rates are generally significantly reduced upon registering fo
r scuba classes. PADI open water certification classes typically cost around 9000-9800 Baht ($210-$250) and last 3-4 days.
The island does have cell phone towers, internet access and ATMs, all added within the last 3 years.
Internet access can be expensive, running at 120 Baht per hour in most places though access is available costing 1 Baht for two minutes.
Anyway, now in 2007 there is a trend to more upmarket resorts which don't concentrate singularely on diving. Free WIFI is provided in increasing numbers and even the first sailing charter company on Koh Tao has opened.
