More of Ko Tao

Love boat taxis!! Definitely the easiest way to get around the island.




This is the Banana Rock Bar!! Its a crazy reggae bar on the rocks made out of driftwood. The barman only had 1 album Legend, Bob Marley which he played over & over! But his mango vodka cocktails were awesome..........


This dude had been to a Jungle Party & not made it back to his bungalow! He stayed there till almost midday in the heat!!


Loved this rock!!

Ko Tao, Thailand





Ko Tao was beautiful. Its a small island, only 21sq km with 1 main sealed rd. Only prob is that it is being developed at a scary rate. Every inch of land is being built on with not much thought for the environment, its very sad. We would have loved to see it 20 yrs ago. Scuba diving is massive & according to some dive instructors we have met since, they are pumping Padis out like a sausage factory!!! The ferry pier is chaos at ferry arrival & departure times.

We managed to stay at some cool spots and got away from the crowds. One spot was called Anankhira where we had our own villa with private plunge pool. See pics above.
