Ko Tao Inns - Reviews and Rates

The next 4 days on Koh Tao were relatively unproductive to say the least! I went on the odd trek, swam in the sea a fair bit, football and lay on the beach reading most the time! I met up with Tommy a few times as he was also on Koh Tao, being conversely productive with his Scuba excersions. However, there was no envy as I was quite happy taking...

Sawasdee ka, we have left our idylic spot by the sea for the bustling tourist town of Sairee. Tim has just completed his PADI open water certificate so is now a certificated diver. He is pretty happy about that and really enjoyed it but unfortunately seems to have come down with a tummy bug. So he is laid up at the moment and we are all fit and ...

After our long journey, we arrived in Kho Tao and that afternoon we started our Open Water Diving course, which would take four days in total. We were fortunate to have a small group of four on our course. By day 3 we were in the ocean! We went around 12 metres deep and got to see different varieties of fish and coral. We were fortunate enough t...

The journey from Kanchanaburi was a long one, fraught with examples of street living and a few forays into the way of the hobo. From Kanchanaburi I got a minibus to Bangkok, 2 hours, no problems. A much larger coach, which was a far cry from the buses and coaches I was on in India, was supposed to be leaving at 1800 hours, it didn't leave till 1...

Von Petchaburi fuhren wir mit dem Bus nach Chumphon...Von dort aus die Mitternachtsfaehre nach Ko(h) Tao.Die ist super, da Sie wenig kostet und 6 Stunden durch die Nacht faehrt. Brauch man schon mal keine Unterkunft. Fuer Taucher ist Ko(h) Tao wahrlich ein Paradies. Allerdings ist es eine Insel mit vielen Travellern deshalb auch stark im Preis. ...

So after spending about 4 days in Bangkok I made my way down to Koh Tao. It takes about 7 hours in a bus and 1.5 hours on a ferry to get here. The whole odyssey only costs US$28. It's low season now in the islands so it's pretty quiet. There are still quite a lot of tourists here but in full season it must be mad! I found myself a nice bungalow ...

Honestly this has really been my first deep breath so far. I'm taking a vacation within a trip here in the brilliant islands of Southern Thailand. Really just Ko Tao. I wanted to find my little bungalow out of the way and get some perspective and focus on what I've been doing and where it's going and how to communicate it to you. I've had almost...

We get on the long boat at 6.30am and by 7.00am we're on board the ship. Today is to a depth of 18m after yesterdays 12m. I have a problem as i go under as my goggles keep filling up with water this happens three times with even me doing what I've been taught not shifting the water, Gavin surfaces and points out that my hair is under the goggles...

After kayaking in the bay between Krabi and Phuket, we headed over to the other side of the penisular to Ko Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. Ko Tao is famous for its diving, with dozens of fantastic dive sites all around the island. So, on a recommendation, we went to Big Bubble, and signed up for the open water diving course. Em was not so keen on ...

24th Aug Arrived this morning via train from Bangkok (sleeper trains stop at 7.30pm, wont miss that again!!!) and boat. Checked into the J P Resort on the south side of the Island. Our hut is on the most amazing golden beach with crystal blue sea as far as the eye can see. The water is amazingly warm. In the afternoon went to see Lynn on the wes...
