From Koh Samui to Koh Tao ⛴🏝

We took the ferry ⛴ from Koh Samui to Koh Tao a very small island also in the Gulf of Thailand. 🏝The distance between the two islands is 69.9 kilometers. The journey took 1 hour 30 minutes and cost 700 Baht (19.18€).
The ride was really very pleasant and we enjoyed the view. 🌊
We were really looking forward to Koh Tao and the difference to Koh Samui. 🤔

We rented a scooter 🛵 here for 150 (4.07€) Baht per day. That's cheaper than on Koh Samui, where we paid 200 Baht (€5.43) per day.
Refueling is also very cheap here in thailand, you pay 29 Baht (0.79€) per liter. That would never be imaginable in Germany. 😳

Our accommodation is a bungalow 🛖 right on Sairee Beach 🏖 for 360 Baht per night (9.76€).
The landlady is really nice and accommodating and what's really great is that we can even leave our dirty laundry with her and pick up the laundry fresh on the same day. 👍🏼
The complex is really tropical, there are incredibly beautiful and fascinating plants here. We even had a few of them as houseplants in Germany. 🪴😅 But it is much nicer to see the plants growing in the wild here. 🌿🌱

There are Geckos which named Tokeh 🦎 running around all over the walls here and for the first time we saw something bigger, before we only saw babies. 😅

We discovered an incredibly delicious food stand right next to our bungalow. The people are happy every time we come there and cook everything fresh in front of our eyes. The food is super cheap there and the portions are really plentiful. A portion costs 60 Baht (1.62€). Our favorite food is fried rice 🍚 with chicken and Panang Curry. For breakfast there is a fruity smoothie bowl 🍌🥭🍍for 70 Baht (1.89€).

It is really only recommended to try the local food at the food stands. The food is not only much cheaper, it also tastes a lot better than the Western food in the restaurants, so we've had really bad experiences with it. 😞😕
In addition, you have so much more insight into the culture and closer contact with the locals. ☺️

We don't have a plan yet how long we want to stay here on Koh Tao and where we should go afterwards. But we are very excited to see where the journey will take us. 📌🌎🗺Read more
