I am a teacher in Bangkok and went to Ko Tao to dive not long after completing my PADI. I chose Ban’s because they seemed professional and a place where I thought they would consider safety a high priority. However, I was soon to distressingly find out this was far from the truth. 20 MINUTES INTO THE DIVE, THE MOUTH... more

From Samui, there are 2 operators that arrange day trips to Koh Tao and Koh Nangyuan - Lomphraya and Seatran Express. Although we wanted to use the Lomphraya, our hotel was too lazy to sort out our booking and eventually it got full. The company offers hotel pick up to the pier. We were told we would be picked up... more

Great island, but the people who runs it must go away!! I went there with my husband and 2 small children in 2002 and from what I read today, things have not changed. Of course the island is beautiful, it does not take much to realize that. You just have to look at the photos! But the service and the... more

Ko Nang Yuan is a divers paradise - the scenery above and of course underwater far outweighs any possible lack of luxury. The accommodation is sparse but perfectly adequate if you have come to enjoy the diving and surroundings. It is not a luxury resort, aimed at people looking for 5 Star comforts. The dive school is excellent, very professional... more

We have never experienced such a poor service as in the restaurant of Nang Yuan. Asking for an improvement, the manager of the restaurant became impolite, speaking with an understatement. Not being able to stand it anymore, we had to check out before the end of our prepaid stay. Of course, they did not refund the remaining payment. The manager... more

The island is wonderful. Very nice, the sea is full of fishes, there is a PADI dive, it's funny snorkeling. The bungalows are nice and comfortable and there are different type of them, basic and deluxe. The location of bungalows is nice, deep in the little islands. The breakfast is good and the restaurant too, for lunch and dinner. We... more

OK -- first, be aware that there is everything here from almost 5-star rooms, to basic bungalows with no A/C. So, I imagine the reviews reflect that. You have to be good at walking up steps since the rooms are all over the hills. We stayed in a really nice room with **insane** views, and were absolutely pleased with the... more

The view of Koh Nang Yuan's tri-island connection is propably familiar to most travellers from thousands of postcards sold around Thailand. The pictures alone are enough proof of something magical, but won't compare to the real thing (as usual). Some might even think it looks boring judging from photos alone, I did aswell at first. The climb to the top... more

This is the third time we come to Koh Nang Yuan and we absolutely love it!! Why? As you know, its looks like paradise, the water is clean, the diving fantastic etc etc etc… About the hotel, well, its far from perfect, but I always wonder, what do people expect, where do they make their bookings, in what world do... more
