Koh Tao


The island looms on the horizon, a jewel of green against an aqua-blue carpet. Whispers of the legendary Koh Tao reached my ears a few years ago when a good friend of mine, Marieke, spent 3 months here. I can see why!

Koh Tao is little more than a pindrop in the ocean, 70kms off the mainland in the Gulf of Thailand. We have a small bungalow overlooking Chalok Baan Bay on the south of the island. The pace is so relaxed- no one is in a hurry to do anything. Reminds me of souwest WA- golden beaches and afternoon doctors.
