Tau (translated from Thai means "Turtle Island") - Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand. Origin of the name - formerly the coast of Tau is home to many sea turtles and it is on its shores they hatched posterity. But lately turtles virtually disappeared. Another version - outlines of the island resembles a turtle.
Sea turtle statue can be seen on the coast near the main port of the island.
The main difference from the neighboring islands - marine environment, good for diving and snorkeling, and therefore the diving centers are located on the beach every opportunity.
