Workation in Koh Tao: the essentials
Scuba diving pays the bills on Koh Tao, a 21-square-kilometre island in the Gulf of Thailand whose name means Turtle Island. Clear water and a large number of dive schools have made it one of the world's busiest places to get certified, and the instructors and freedivers who stay for whole seasons give Sairee Beach a settled, sociable feel. Coworking exists alongside laptop-friendly cafés, mostly around Sairee. Ferries run from Chumphon and Koh Samui, whose airport is about 65 km away, and nearly all supplies come by boat too. The hills call for a scooter, and the monsoon from October to December can bring rough crossings and cancelled sailings.
No provider, trip, or travel partner linked to Koh Tao yet.
Koh Tao has a small coworking offer such as Blacktip Workspace and TaoHUB, used mainly by dive instructors and long-stay visitors. Internet is decent for an island, and power cuts occur. Cafés in Sairee and Mae Haad are the usual complement.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
