Ko Tao

It's our last day on Koh Tao before we head back to the Thai mainland where we will stop for a few days before we hop over to Ko Phi Phi and then Phucket. We've decided to take it easy today as we are a little bit hungover again but we have spent the last couple of days cruising around the island on a scooter stopping off at bays to snorkel in the ocean. We decided to rent one bike because the roads here are not the best plus it's a lot cheaper.

Lloyd been more road confident than me drove while I took the back seat, I am so glad Lloyd was in control of the bike because as I said the roads aren't the best. When I say not the best I mean some of these roads are little more than dirt tracks with rocks sticking out everywhere also there are steep hills to contend with, at times I had to jump off so Lloyd could make it to the top. Sometimes it was easier to park at the top and walk down to the beach, while we were walking down to one of the beaches a couple came up the hill past us on a quad and were struggling to get up. Their quad came to a complete stop so Lloyd and I been the gentlemen that we are ran back up the hill and gave them a push, I'm so glad we didn't go to down this hill on our scooter! If you come to this island I would advise you to rent a quad or a scrambler, I've seen so many people with bandaged arms and legs, scooters aren't made for the types of hills and roads on this island.

I've enjoyed my time on this island more than Ko Saumi, it's more laid back and very chilled out. It seems a lot of people come here to scuba dive, there are scuba diving schools everywhere, I think I'll stick to snorkelling it's a lot cheaper.
