February to April is generally Koh Tao's driest, calmest period; October to December is wetter and rougher, with November the most difficult month for ferry conditions. The south and west coasts tend to be calmer from November to March. Taatoh Restaurant serves Thai and European dishes, with other local dining outlets on Freedom Beach and Taatoh Yai Beach.
