Why Are Koh Nang Yuan Pictures Often Labeled as Koh Tao?

This is a common confusion! Here’s why:

  • Tourist packages to Koh Tao almost always include a visit to Koh Nang Yuan.
  • Search engines and travel websites often tag the beautiful sandbar photo under “Koh Tao” because it’s the main access point.
  • Travelers and bloggers frequently refer to the entire area as “Koh Tao” for simplicity, even when they’re showing Koh Nang Yuan.
