Hi
I was in Thailand a loooooong time ago so things will have changed but I went snorkelling (blissfully ignorant of freediving then) at Ko Tao for a week or so - very nice, alot of fish, barracudas and a sighting of a whale shark from what I remember (not by me, by some scuba folk).
They had a small scuba shop there too offering PADI. It is a small island past Ko Samui and back then was pretty unspoilt - probably a golf course now.... You will want to check this halfinfo no doubt but it was and possibly still is a very nice place.
