20. 1. Koh Tao (wild wild west)

We have landed this afternoon in Koh Tao, branded the wild wild west island as supposedly the island is controlled by mafia. There have been several strange deaths on the island, many involving brits aswell. So we must keep our wits about us here but so far seems lovely! It's the snorkling mecca of Thailand and in top 10 of the best places in the world to snorkle and dive. So of course, the first thing we do is rent a scooter, grab our snorkles and head to a renowned beach. By the time we had some food and headed in it was about 5 o'clock so sadly abit late in the day however... Under the water we were greeted with magical corals and fish all colours, we saw barracudas and huge shoals of fish. In the hour we were in, we saw more than all the trips combined.. It is amazing! We think we may want to stay here rather than move on a few days, time will tell, we have so much of the island to see, turtles, sharks and we may even do a diving session, they are rather expensive but we are loving exploring the ocean so far so may be a worthy investment. We headed back to our hotel, which we got an upgrade to superior with sea view - which is nice! And about to head for dinner. Koh Tao you are magical! We cannot wait to explore more of your coastline!!Læs mere
