Government & police offices on Koh Tao itself.

Koh Tao is a sub-district (tambon) of Ko Pha-ngan district, not a province, so it has no Immigration Bureau, Land Office or Provincial Hall of its own -- see our separate Koh Tao immigration office guide for that side of things. What the island does have on-island: its own Police Station and Tourist Police unit, both in the south and centre of the island, and its Subdistrict Municipal Office in Chalok Baan Kao. Verified where possible against independent sources, with anything we could not confirm flagged rather than guessed.
