Ko Tao Ranches - Reviews and Rates

While J continues with her TEFL course, I took the opportunity to go back to Koh Tao for a few days to dive. The diving at Nang Yuan was largely focused on the sites around that island, in the north, so I hoped to get to some of the further sites, particularly South West Pinnacle.

The journey was largely uneventful apart from a l...

Hi All, hope you're keeping well! We're currently in Pai, just above Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. Last 6 weeks have flown by, but we're both still having a great time, too much too include here, but we spent a few weeks on the Islands Ko Samui (full of resorts), Ko Tao (fantastic fun learning to scuba and snorkel) and Ko Pha Ngan for the New Y...

The journey to ko tao was quite nice. The weather was perfect and the view from the deck was amazing - blue skies, clear blue water and small dense green islands dotted along the way. We arrived in Ko tao mid afternoon and after booking into our hostel we spent the rest of the day just chilling round our resort and finding out more about the isl...

Hey thar. Becca and I left Krabi 2 days ago and headed over to the east coast. Getting over took about 4 hours on a nice cushy air conditioned coach bus. When we arrived at Sirat Thani we attempted to shop around for boat tickets over to Ko Tao but there was only one overpriced place to buy them so that was that. We walked around the markets for...

Arrived via train back into our beloved Bangkok. Spent the day repacking, eating, and a nice study at Siriwans. Took the 11:20pm train to Chumporn and then the ferry here to Ko Tao. A beautiful island in the tropics. Sara has already started her PADI scuba course and will keep busy till Sunday. I will team up with her on the last day to finish h...

We go for our usual breakfast at the Seashell Resort but at least we can call this place home now for the next four days as we moved in as part of the PADI course. We finish some questions from our text book on diving (homework on holiday!) before heading over to the classroom. We meet our instructor Gavin who seems chilled out and cool and the ...

Ok, so I might be being an idiot but I'm sure I wrote an entry in Longji which has now disappeared....??? Hmmmm...... Anyway, so after Yangshou (one of the best places on the planet) we moved on to Longji which was really really cool. We did a nice long trek in the baking heat and I actually really enjoyed it. If you fancy seeing a video, check ...

Piep iedereen!!! Is weer even geleden dat ik nog genoeg tijd heb gehad om op men travelblog iets te schrijven. Singapore was zalig. Na drie weken in Bangkok gezeten te hebben heeft mij dat echt goed gedaan. Dus maandagmorgen heb ik de taxi richting de luchthaven genomen in Singapore. Waar ik dan na 2,5 uur ben aangekomen in Bangkok en ik aan de ...

this island is wonderful. we went to the smallest beach on it which is also the most secluded. it's perfect our place has a reasturant bar and shop and thats all we need. the beach at night has waves and resembles the corona comercials with big palm trees. we got a nice place for 5US each a night. also diving here is great. went today and saw an...

To view the photos from the four days events, click HERE. 23rd February After arriving in Ko Tao, the first objective was to secure my place on a diving course, and gain some associated accommodation. As recommended by the guidebook I was using, I headed to Easy Divers dive shop. I can't speak highly enough about the service they provided. From ...
