#summerdestinations Have you heard about it before? Usually, people fly to Koh Samui and then head to Koh Pha Ngan for the party, but they never make it to Koh Tao 🤷♀️ This small island is considered a true paradise for divers. Here, you can encounter a variety of tropical fish, sea turtles and even elusive whale sharks. That's why there are many diving/freediving schools here. Originally, we planned to visit Tao - Pha Ngan - Samui, but in the end, we spent all 10 days on Tao because we decided to take freediving courses and stay longer to practice. This island is also perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and relax on the beach with a cocktail 🍹 #kohtao #kohtaoisland #thailand #beautiful_thailand #thailand_allshots #travel_lover #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #beautifulisland #paradisefound #paradisebeach #paradiseisland

#Gulf of Thailand They say that "the right person" always comes at the right time. Hey!!!!! That's not right. They say that going to the sea is not to escape the heat, but to escape love. 😘 Some say that the sea tells us to "Swish, Swish". But no matter what, this trip we will go to Koh Tao, Surat Thani Province Another dream list that is really worth coming to because it is so beautiful. The water is crystal clear, the sand is white. The coral here is so beautiful. 🐠 Schools of fish swim like a storm. Coming once is not enough. Hey!!! I never thought that the Gulf of Thailand would be this beautiful. It's so private, my friend. #Sea near Bangkok #Beautiful islands in Thailand #Koh Tao #Surat Thani #Southern sea #Sea trip

#Beautiful islands in Thailand A secret corner of Koh Tao at Shark Beach. It takes a while to get there from the pier. I usually stay on the Sairee Beach side, which is on the opposite side. This corner is quite private, but not completely private. Tourists can walk from the resort, Ta To Resort. You can rent goggles and snorkeling equipment from the accommodation. Or if you stay at this accommodation like us, you can borrow them because you can go down to the beach, which is not very big. We can swim from the water to snorkel and see the coral. On lucky days, you will see small sharks and turtles from this beach. The photo corner of this beach is very beautiful. Waking up to watch the sunrise is the best. Location: Walk down from Ta To Resort. #KohTao #WhereToGoThisSummer #BeautifulIslands #TravelWithMoi

This post, we will talk about the diving trip by Oxygen Tour Koh Tao. I was lazy again. The trip was supposed to be a full day, but we chose a half-day trip. LOL After having breakfast at the resort, we waited for the Oxygen car to pick us up at 11:00 to go to the Oxygen office. The two of us were the first group to arrive (I dare to call it a group 😅). We were greeted warmly by a woman and “Phi Ball”, the person who would lead the diving tour today. Phi Ball briefly explained where we were going and said that there was an entrance fee to Koh Nang Yuan for 40 baht per person. Oh my! We left the resort thinking that it would be free for the whole trip. There was nothing to do. We didn’t need to bring a lot of stuff. So we took 100 baht with us. LOL After paying the entrance fee for 2 people, other groups of people started to arrive. They were all foreigners. There was one Thai person. Let’s go! This trip, there were 3 staff members: Phi Ball, Phi Wut (sorry for the misspelling), and the captain. During the trip, they taught us how to use the diving equipment and explained the rules and regulations. 🌊Dive site 1, Koh Nang Yuan This island does not allow fins (diving fins) to be used for diving because it can damage the coral reefs. Plastic water bottles are also prohibited on the island. If you are thirsty or hungry, there are shops on the island. 🌊Dive site 2 Before reaching the next dive site, it was time for lunch. We each got a box of food that was not too spicy because it was probably made for foreigners to eat. 🌊Dive site 3 This time, we stopped to eat some fresh fruit. 🍍🍉 This dive site allows you to jump into the water because it is quite deep. Most people go diving with Phi Wut. My boyfriend and I sat on the boat and took pictures. There were 2-3 foreigners who went up to the upper floor of the boat and jumped into the water and had fun. 🌊Dive site 4 This time, they served panna cotta. Wow! 😋 It was so delicious. I wanted to ask for several more cups. 55555 At this point, I intended not to go down again. But Phi Wut insisted on going to see the beauty. Phi Wut brought a floating buoy for us to hold on to so that we wouldn't get tired. In the end, Phi Wut was so tired that his eyes were wide open because so many people came to hold on to it. 5555 🌊Dive spot 5 This dive spot is at the back of Sai Daeng Resort where we were staying. I secretly asked the staff if we could just swim back to the resort. 5555 No, no, because we were under their care and responsibility. Hehe. This time, we saw 3 huge sharks, no need to be upset. 🦈🦈🦈 But I didn't take any pictures. All the cameras' batteries were dead. Oh no! Phi Wut really said that if we had come yesterday, we would have seen turtles too. Because today's weather was bad, the water was murkier. We missed out. ✨ The diving trip was over. When the boat reached the shore, there was a car waiting to take us to the resort. Today was so much fun. I have to thank Phi Ball and Phi Wut for taking such good care of us, the new kids. And thank myself for not being too lazy to drag my body on this trip. It was a really good experience. 🥰 #LAZYBABETRIP #Travel according to the situation#Beautiful islands in Thailand#Missing nature#Sea#Southern sea#Sea trip#Sea travel#Diving#Koh Tao #Organize a sea trip#The body needs the sea

If you plan to visit Thailand or you are in Thailand please do not miss Koh Tao. It is simply the most beautiful place I've seen in Thailand so far. People in the island are super nice, they are very helpful and overall is a chill/party island. Don't book one or two nights, you will regret it. Go there for at least a week, everyday you'll find something new to do #kotao #KoTaoIsland #thailand #paradise

Most people come here to dive and to take dive master courses, and there are around 40 diving schools on the island now. I saw several packages for dive courses including accommodation for around 8,000 baht (around US$224) which is a great deal – and another reason why Koh Tao attracts so many divers, in addition to its many dive sites. #beachlife #thailand #kotao

Ko Tao is an island in Thailand. Restaurants, nightspots and dive shops cluster in Mae Haad Beach and near Sai Ri Beach. Villas dot palm-fringed beaches such as Chalok Baan Kao Bay, on the south coast. In the northwest, Koh Nang Yuan is a group of islets with hilltop views. Ko Tao is known for its tropical coral reefs, with species including whale sharks and rays. Hawksbill and green turtles gather here to breed.

Since my sister invited me to learn to dive at Koh Tao, I agreed without hesitation because I wanted to see how beautiful the sea was under the sea, since I had only seen it in pictures. When I went down to see it, it was really beautiful. At first, I thought learning to dive was very difficult, but I'll tell you, it's not as difficult as I thought. I studied at Ban Diving Koh Tao. The teacher was very good and easy to understand. If I have the chance, I want to dive again. #DivingTrip #DivingKohTao #DivingToSeeCoral

Sunset viewpoint near Koh Tao pier This point is where you can see the sunset, very beautiful, red light along the sea clearly. It is a point that can be seen directly from the beach, without having to go high or go far, you can sit and watch the sunset. On a good day, you will see the sun shine in the evening clearly, big round ball. Mae Hat Beach is considered a beautiful beach with clear water, you can swim and play just like other beaches.

Girls who love white and minimal will definitely love this. The name of the shop tells it directly: Whitening Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, Thailand. A white shop located next to Sairee Beach on Koh Tao. Serves food and drinks all day until evening. There are many corners for us to choose to sit both indoors and sunbathe in front. It is a shop where girls will definitely have fun taking pictures. With a Mood & Tone that looks like it came out of Pinterest. The shop is located on Sairee Beach. It is not difficult to find. There is also a Happy Hour promotion. If you come to Koh Tao, you must put it on your Bucket List because this shop should not be missed at all. #CafeReview #TheBodyNeedsTheSea

Traveling to Koh Tao, who said you have to pay a lot? In the past, when I had never been to Koh Tao, I thought the same thing. But when I tried it, wow, there are many cheap and good rooms. Woodlawn Villas Resort is another place that I recommend. The starting price is only a few hundred baht per night. Although it is not right next to the sea, it is not far either, just a few meters from the sea. If anyone comes to Koh Tao, this place is another good choice... But wait!! If anyone thinks that traveling to Koh Tao for 3-4 days is not enough and wants to stay longer, this place has a special deal. Monthly rate starting at no more than 5,000 baht per month, but the room is very good. The average is only 166 baht per day. Anyone who has a long-term plan to escape the chaos and relax must arrange it. (I myself want to stay for a month, lol) 🏙️🏙️ #SouthernTeam#HotelWithBeautifulSwimmingPool

When you arrive at Koh Tao, you must try this place. The accommodation has a chill atmosphere. The back is a mountain. The front is the sea. Wow! If anyone has the opportunity to come to Koh Tao, don't forget to make this place another option. Come and relax. The atmosphere is super good. You can see the sunset in full view. And it is a sea view room by the sea. Even though it is a bit far, it is worth it. The resort also has a shuttle service to the pier. #Where to go this summer? #Travel to the sea #Missing nature #Southern team #Our hearts are at the sea #Very good accommodation promotion #Accommodation with a million-dollar view #Hotel with a beautiful swimming pool #Natural therapy

Koh Tao is another island that I've wanted to go to for a long time, but for various reasons, I just had the chance to go. When I actually went there, it didn't disappoint me at all. It's an incredibly beautiful island. I don't know how to explain it. The people on the island are so lovely that I don't want to come back. I feel like I'm in love with this place. If I get to try it once, I think everyone will feel the same way I do. If the Covid situation improves, I'll definitely go back again.. #kohtao​#journey​ #KohTao​ #diving​ #diving​trip​ #diving​KohTao​ #bigbubble #sea​travel#waiting​to​departure#missingnature#our​hearts​are​at​the​sea#southern​team#nature​therapy

I chose this place because of the million-dollar view. 😆 The hotel is located on a hillside, near Ao Luk, but not on the beach. There are 7 rooms in total. There are many types of rooms. I was very lucky to get a two-story room (room 6). I could see the view clearly. 😳 But if you have children or elderly people, I don't recommend this room. Because the stairs are quite steep and each step is quite far apart. The hotel has a restaurant. The owner's mother cooks the food herself. It's very delicious. The more you eat and look at the view... oh my! Another highlight of this place is Nong Namchok 🐈 #SouthernTeam
