Ban's Diving Resort is nestled in beautiful
tropical surroundings right on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao's main beach
and the place to be for sun lovers and beach goers. Centrally
located, the resort is within walking distance of restaurants,
shopping, viewpoints, night life and everything else that will
make your stay on Koh Tao memorable.
Sitting in our beach side restaurant, you will be able to enjoy
the fantastic sunset that Koh Tao is famous for. The sky is simply
ablaze in a variety of purple, yellow, red and orange colors.
Sairee Beach is THE place to chill out after an exciting days
diving or snorkelling.
Designed for comfort and practicality, we like to think that Ban's
Diving Resort offers our students and certified divers a complete
experience: Beach Accommodation, Own House Reef, Swimming Pool,
Restaurant and everything else right on our premises. Our rooms by
the swimming pool all come toilet, shower and fan as a standard.
Optional airconditioning, tv available and family rooms (3 beds or
more available). Sitting on the balcony you can see the sea and
the swimming pool as well as Sairee Beach's stunning sunset.

From Bangkok
Bus and Boat: We have 2 offices
located on Koh San Rd in Bangkok (see attached map). Tickets can
be arranged for you at our offices or made directly with the
company, please make reservations at least a day in advance. To
see a schedule of the prices, routes and times to and from Koh Tao
visit the website
www.lomprayah.com
Train and Boat: The State Railway
of Thailand has daily departures to Chumphon and combined train
and bus options can be purchased. The best train to take is the
2nd or 1st class sleeper trains which travel through the night.
The express (EXP SP 85) train leaves at 19:15 from Bangkok and
arrives in Chumphon around 5:00 am. Once is the Chumphon the boat
leaves around 7:30 in the morning arriving at 10:30 on Koh Tao.
Prices depend on classes, train reservations can also be booked at
our office on Koh San Rd.
Airplane and Boat: If long hauls
are not for you then I recommend flying to the island of Koh Samui
and then taking a boat from there. Tickets can be purchased
on-line from Bangkok Airways www.bangkokair.com. There are daily
departures from 6:00 to 19:40. If you would like to arrive on Koh
Tao the same day that you leave Bangkok then make sure you take
the flight that leaves at 10:10 or any earlier flights. There are
2 baots to Koh Tao daily one at 8:00 am and then the last ferry at
12 noon. Once at the Samui airport tickets can be purchased for
the Lomprayah Catamaran or the Seatran Company, both boats are
roughly a 2 hour journey. Tickets for both companies are 550 baht
and they provide pick-up from the airport to the pier.
For planning your holiday and
itinerary boat schedules can be found at
www.lomprayah.com and
airline tickets schedules at
www.bangkokair.com. Both websites offer online booking.
From Krabi, Phuket, Phi Phi
If coming from the south directly
to Koh Tao then make your way to Surat Thani. From there a night
boat leaves daily at 23:00 and arrives at 5:00 the following
morning. Tickets are 500 baht. This ride is not particularly
comfortable for all and another option would be to fly from Phuket
to Koh Samui and then take the boat here.

recent refurbishment offers the best in contemporary,

What is PADI ?
PADI (Professional Association of Diving
Instructors) is the world’s largest recreational diving membership
organization. The membership includes dive businesses, resort
facilities, academic institutions, instructor trainers, dive educators,
divers, snorkelers and other watersports enthusiasts.
Students learn the basics through independent study and then are guided
through additional development by their instructors. The goal is to get
students in the water as soon as possible and provide them with the
instruction necessary to gain confidence in their diving abilities.
All PADI programs, entry-level through instructor training, fall under
strict educational standards to maintain worldwide consistency and
quality. PADI takes a proactive approach to, with a full-time department
that randomly surveys PADI Divers to monitor PADI programs and to
confirm that PADI courses meet PADI’s high standards. This commitment to
a strong quality assurance process helps maintain credibility and
continually improve customer satisfaction.
