Ko Tao - Beach Life!
This is a top pick! The bus/boat trip from Bangkok to Ko Tao was pretty uneventful, surprising considering dodgy transport has become a recurring theme on our trip, the VIP bus runs overnight and despite hearing all the horror-stories regarding being drugged and the ...
Beach Life
This is a top pick! ... , snorkel around another, eat at a nice restaurant atop the cliffs of another, and head to snorkel at the Japanese gardens around Ko Nang Yuan. Nang Yuan is angelic if ever an island could be. It is actually three islands connected by sandy ...
Sun.... Sea... Sand... Sandcastles
This is a top pick! ... to spare........ good times. Leaving the light on in our room and forgetting to return the key were only small victories. Koh Tao's great though. The pictures we've uploaded don't quite do it justice, because the sun went in and we couldn't be ...
First Island South
This is a top pick! ... the small island of Ko Tao. The island was named by its first settlers for the island's turtle-like geographic shape (Ko Tao in Thai). Coincidentally, the island is an important breeding ground for Hawksbill turtles and Green turtles. The island is ...
Raining D' and B'
This is a top pick! ... we couldn't make it up even the first hill, and had to return for another. after being on an island as small as koh tao, i was surprised at how far we were from hat rin (party town), especially as the roads in are especially hilly and very dangerous, ko ...
Our room came with pets
This is a top pick! Its hard to keep a travel blog up to date. Every day so many things happen that you wish you could share with someone. Like yesterday So I've decided to just type up a few sections right from the pages of my journal to kind of get caught up. I've ...
Simple Pleasures at Simple Life
This is a top pick! ... a lot simpler to catch up. The reason we haven't done anything today? - Firstly the sun. And secondly the alcohol. On arrival at Ko Tao yesterday we took immediately to the pool area. A nice little pool and due to the fact it is 'monsoon' season, there ...
Time to get back on the road
This is a top pick! ... time we've sunk so low. The cost is a measly 43 pounds for the 3 nights. The equivalent to each night we are spending on Ko Tao. We've got a fun day tomorrow of the standard "Hurry up and Wait", which is becoming commonplace. We check out early, then have ...
Flip Flop Fever
This is a top pick! ... . the island is sleepy, and only has 900 local residents, with proably the same number again in tourists. as adventures go, ko tao, is mainly a dive resort, so my options become relativly restricted. the main excitment was the ped, which we managed to ...
Maxin and relaxin...
This is a top pick! I did absolutely nothing today and it was everything I thought it could be and more. To this point in my adventures, I really haven't taken any time to just relax and be on vacation. Today, I embraced the island mentality and sat in my ...
Time to hit the road again
This is a top pick! This last week has gone so fast I cannot believe we are finally escaping the clutches of Koh Tao!!!! We are packed (we'll almost)and make the long trek back to Bangkok tomorrow for the final time. We will spend two nights back on Koh San Road then fly ...
Island Hopping in Thailand
This is a top pick! ... . Well, we haven't really done anything since Egypt to deserve another beach vacation, but we got one anyways! Coming into Thailand by overnight train, we also had to take an overnight boat from the mainland to the islands in the Gulf of Thailand ...
Oh where to start!!
This is a top pick! ... went to Bangkok to buy a new laptop because my other one is broken -thank god it's insured although we have lost a stack of photos from Thailand and all my music!!! We had some great photos of Koh Tao but have lost them all now and we haven't got round to ...
Riding a 4 wheel buggy thing
This is a top pick! ... So we drive. The hill gets steeper and steeper and Ben is loving it while I am screaming and holding on for dear life. We ended up near Tao Thong (Cape Je Ta Gang) and I new going back would be far worse than getting here and I was right. By the way this ...
This is home for now
This is a top pick! I have managed to get some things of my old laptop so all is not lost.I wrote thisa while ago but figured i may as well put it on anyway: Now that my heart rate has returned to normal and I'm constantly breathing fresh air I thought I'd better let you ...
A Thousand Words
This is a top pick! ... fond farewell to a place we had spent the last three weeks doing almost nothing. As we got closer and closer, coming into Thailand again, the feeling of anticipation built at the back of my mind, and I got all excited - not quite giddy you understand, ...
Screwed for scratches
This is a top pick! ... they held my passport ransom for some huge amount of money, "all parts have to be replaced". This is a lie, and happens allot in Thailand, and unfortunately there is sod all you can do about it, negotiated down, bit my tongue, and got stung. Leave it the ...
Sam's Poem and our reply
This is a top pick! ... float. Now this has been written, I understand how, I wound up in Cambodia, missing my Koh Tao. _________________________________________________________ If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this poem. To find out ...
Its not even a dot on the map
This is a top pick! ... and DVD player so we settle down for the three hour drive ahead to Chumphon where we will then catch the 1pm Catamaran to Koh Tao which takes 1 ½ hours. We arrive and decide to stay at OK II bungalows; it's at the bottom of the island with huts dotted ...
A long, long day
This is a top pick! ... of Chumporn and then a potentially interesting seven hour boat ride to the exotic island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. We chose Koh Tao because everyone else seems to go to Koh Samui that it's almost a Thai backpacker cliché, like buying the Red ...
Swimming with sharks
This is a top pick! The beautiful island of Ko Tao is our next stop, the diving and snorkelling centre of Thailand. The first thing we did was to sign up for a dive, going to a site called Champon pinnacle. Kat and I were dive buddies and we were taken out by James ...
Ha I did it - Easy Divers part II
This is a top pick! ... before we leave. Sophie and I met for breakfast at 11 o'clock in Zest (the best place for breakie if you are ever here on Koh Tao) and discussed how we are going to get me through this. The diving is not the problem I can do that bit; it's the mask ...
Hitting the Thai Islands - Ko Tao
This is a top pick! ... by the time they got there, it had gone... which they were not pleased about when we got to the surface! Also while on Ko Tao, Christian, a Norwegian guy who was on Tom's Advanced course, VERY kindly leant me his laptop so I could use the Big ...
Things we take for granted!
This is a top pick! Things we take for granted: Sitting here on this beautiful tiny island when its 90 degrees makes me realize how lucky I am. I could just as easily be getting up on a cold and wet Monday morning spending the day stuck in an office I do not wish to be ...
Diving again
This is a top pick! I arrived here a few days ago and have been out diving everyday! Yesterday I completed my Advanced Open Water PADI Course and decided to stay an extra couple of days to log a few fun dives before I leave this island. Tomorrow afternoon (after a couple ...
Diving My Way to the Top
This is a top pick! ... my fun divers will have fun. I would be more than happy to do this for the rest of my life. Koh Tao is not real Thailand, it is a mafia owned island made for tourists. There is very little local culture to be found here, which is difficult for me ...

This is a top pick! Just a quick update to let u know we are a live and ok..... well our plans have now changed and we didn't fly to Oz as we were suposed to on 19th July we now fly on 20th September that is if we ever manage to get off this island!!!! my lap top is ...

This is a top pick! ... my open water PADI certificate, so it's official now--I CAN breathe underwater and still live to tell about it! WOOHOOO!! Ko Tao is known for its good underwater diving spots (obviously!) and especially its unbeatable prices for initial diving ...
Sunbathing, snorkelling and falling off bikes
This is a top pick! ... know was that all the rooms on the island were full due to the Tsunami and more travellers being over on the islands on this side of Thailand. After at the last minute deciding to go to Koh Pha-ngan and not Phi Phi, lady luck was again smiling on us, as ...
10 Days of Paradise
This is a top pick! The last time we were in Thailand we sailed past Koh Tao and did not stop there. It looked great at the time and people have told us wonderful things about the island so we decided to check it out. We have been travelling for almost 5 months now and we ...
