Koh Tao - Thailand






The Place: Diver's paradise - Koh Tao used to be closed to non divers in peak season. We stayed at Noks place and Tiang Og beach.

Some features: In both places our room was right on the rocks next to the sea, in Tiang Og our balcony was suspended over the sea. This is a really beautiful island and not very busy either (apart from the PADI dive resorts). We did some snorkelling and rock jumping at Nok's place. Tried lit poi for the first time at night on the beach in Tiang Og. Enjoyed the beaches!

Strange observation: While swimming in the rock pools I saw some fish sun-tanning on a rock (which was being regularly washed over by the sea). I thought at first that they were washed up there and stuck on the rock but when I crept closer to them they all rapidly started hopping off the rock (about 15 of them).
