Ko Tao Villas - Reviews and Rates

Ok we are at a new place with better internet now so I'll try again. Our first day in Bangkok we did not do much except sweat alot. We tried to stay up til bed time in orde to beat jetlag but our pan failed and we were both wide awake at 3am. We did eventually get soem sleep though and during the day we took our first Tuk-Tuk ride to Khao San Ro...

Direction une ile plus calme...ou la mer est encore plus transparente...plongee au rendez vous mais fort decu

Due to my back being badly sunburnt from snorkelling in Angthong on Day 9, and Mike losing money, we both stayed and chilled at our resort, whilst Will went diving and the girls went snorkelling around Koh Tao. Went to Lotus Bar in the evening, its the busiest of all the places, and has some really cool guys spinning and throwing balls and stick...

Day 111 - More waiting ensued following yesterdays fiasco - until 6am, where we queued some more to verify our tickets and after waiting some more, we finally boarded the katamaran. It's also raining outside by the way. Just what you want when you arrive at a tropical island, and in addition, by now, the only people who surround me are Brits! Be...

When I got off of the ferry, I was immediately swarmed with people trying to get me to stay at their guesthouse or to ride in their taxi. I was starving so I decided that I can always evaluate the situation better with food. I stopped off at a food stall and got a banana pancake.

The long tail drivers sitting around a table, looking rather doe eyed and high said...

It has always been a huge goal or dream to have Sara become a certified Diver. On Ko Tao it came true and can't wait to enjoy the wonderful underwater world with her. She was lucky to only have an amazing instructer and one other guy in the course with her (a cute and fun bloke from England) . This entry is dedicated to her 4 days of certification.

As of Friday, March 29th I am officially jobless and homeless. It's a strange feeling to have all of one's belongings in one bag toting it around paradise. I don't seem to care that I have nowhere to go for a few weeks. I met up with friends on Ko Tao, a little island in the Gulf of Thailand that is known world wide for it's diving. During the d...

The first morning of the course was spent in the classroom learning vital life saving information on buoyancy and decompression sickness. I got put with my buddy, Graeme, who I'd be spending each dive with and who I had to rely on to be close enough should something go wrong. The afternoon saw us in the pool learning how to put all the equipment...

I finally made it back down to ko tao and did my advanced open water certification and added another 7 dives to my log book. the visibility was amazing and saw quite a few moray eels and stingrays. i did a night dive and ...
