Taa Toh Lagoon Diving Resort Ko Tao

He's been teaching scuba for six years. Next we checked into our bungalow which sat ...

So there are two ways to comfortably get from Ko Samui, the main island with the airport, to the other nearby islands: Ko Tao and Ko Phangan. There is the Lomprayah speed boats and the Seatran speedboats. Book them online or at least the day before from your hotel.

It was extremely painful. Tom has a video which I will try and get on here at some point! The nights that followed were 'warm up' nights to the Full Moon Party, which attracts between 20,000 to 40,000 people every month. These nights produced some funny ...
