Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Koh Tao does not have a single island-wide marine-park tag, but you should budget for site-specific entry fees and Thailand-wide arrival requirements. Koh Nang Yuan charges an entrance or maintenance fee, and national parks like Mu Ko Ang Thong (if you day-trip) charge standard Thai national-park entrance fees.
