Ban's Diving Resort Koh Tao and Khaosan Road Go Hand in Hand




When you think of diving or learning to dive in Thailand, it's hard to think that the huge metropolis of Bangkok would have any connection with scuba diving whatsoever. For a start Bangkok only has one beach and if you went diving off there then you would end up swallowing a mouthful of the tons of sewage that gets flushed out with the Chaopraya River every day. But there is a place near the centre of Bangkok that is synonymous with diving in the South of Thailand.




Khaosan Road became a popular hub for travelers to South East Asia in the 1980s when a large event in Bangkok celebrating its first two hundred years convinced the locals on Khaosan Road to rent their rooms out to western backpackers. Ever since then millions of travelers every year western and Asians alike pass through Khaosan road and it has become the gateway of South East Asia and a hub for those going to dive or learn to scuba dive in the south of Thailand.




Over the years dozens of guesthouses, hotels, travel agents and diving agents have sprung up on Khaosan Road with scuba diving agencies often working for or employed by the diving centers and resorts in the south. And with Koh Tao being the diving Mecca of Thailand it is noticeable that most of the scuba diving agents on Khaosan Road have the same name as the diving centers and schools on Koh Tao like Buddha View and Ban's Diving Resort two of the most popular diving resorts in Thailand.




Ban's Diving Resort itself has at least three scuba diving offices on Khaosan Road and this is simply because one office is not enough to deal with the thousands of walk in customers. Ban's Diving Resort and PADI CDC diving center is probably the largest and one of the most popular diving schools and resorts on Turtle Island and the first in the region to be awarded the PADI award for excellence.




Due to Ban's Diving Resort's high standard of operations it encourages all its staff and agents to take diving certificates so all know exactly what they are talking about when dealing with customers and answering their questions about their diving courses. All the staff at the resort and on Khaosan Road operate like one big happy family making sure that everyone is in constant communication with each other to ensure that they can deliver the highest standard of service and that every customer's individual needs are catered for. With just a few hours notice diving courses from open water to diving instructor  can be taken in all major languages including, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Swedish.




The newest addition to the Ban's Family on Khaosan Road is Ban's Diving, Tour and Travel office which can be found at the entrance to the 7 Holders Guesthouse across from the Buddy Lodge Resort. Ban's Diving Tour and Travel Office is not just a diving agency but also a travel and tour agents offering diving courses, multi day vacations, sightseeing tours, flight tickets and train tickets. They provide a warm and friendly service and welcome walk in customers and also internet customers who can book online via their website www.bansdivingthailand.com.
