We are visit Koh Tao This year, I'm very old. I don't know how many years I'll be able to go out to sea. Please travel comfortably. I'm not a teenager, traveling in my old age.



The boat that we chose for this trip by Lomprayah Speed ​​Boat It's a cool, air-conditioned ferry. The boat will have a rooftop for enjoying the view. While traveling, but the sun is hot, I'd rather sit in an air-conditioned room. This makes a picture showing the difference in seats. Normally VIP rooms are not open for advance reservations. You must have a regular class ticket first, which is the red seat in the picture, and then bring the ticket you have. Upgrade your seat at the counter when checking in and there will be an additional VIP seat of 100 baht per seat. If you want more privacy, VIP Exclusive will cost 200 baht/seat. This depends on the preferences of each person. But the final destination is Koh Tao as well.

The boat will stop at Koh Nang Yuan before running to Koh Tao. Koh Nangyuan is not far from Koh Tao. About 10 minutes by boat. Koh Nang Yuan has only one resort, Nang Yuan Drive. If you come stay here. It's like staying on a private island. But we like to travel on motorcycles. So it's not suitable for us. This trip, I would like to choose to stay at Koh Tao.



Arrived at Koh Tao. Mae Haad Pier It is the main of the pier and the boat will be dropped off at this pier.





Koh Tao Pier There will be a staff in resort standing and holding a sign with the name of the resort itself. Come and wait to receive customers who will enter the accommodation. We stayed at Dusit Buncha. Call the resort to inform that Where to travel by Lomprayah ferry  They will know and come and wait to pick you up at the pier for free. There is no charge.



Tourists traveling to Koh Tao are charged a 20 baht entrance fee per person. Officers pay at the pier.



This trip, we stayed at the first place, Dusitbancha. We chose to stay here and got a view and atmosphere of Koh Nang Yuan in full view. You didn't have to stay at Nang Yuan to see the view. Beautiful Lady Yuan



The entrance is a little steep. There are two large rocks leaning towards each other. You have to duck into this hole to enter the resort. On Koh Tao there will be large rocks. If you make resort accommodation, you will build a mountainous area. Cutting through the rocks big rocks are difficult to break. So you have to do it our way. or resting in the crevices of rocks This is a question from a worker on the island.



Our rooms are in a building with a balcony overlooking Koh Nang Yuan. There are trees blocking the view a bit. Choose a room in the building There is an advantage of not having to walk very far. After checking in, walk 1 minute to your room. The rooms are considered quite good.



Arrived at the island around 3:00 p.m. There's nothing much today. Let's stop by a cafe on the island. Cactus Cafe & Beach Bar is a cafe where you can order menus with foreign staff. I don't know where to talk. Eight ice creams



The atmosphere in front of Cactus Cafe & Beach Bar is chill time for relaxing





Breakfast at Dusit Buncha From having been to many resorts in the Gulf of Thailand, most of the time the breakfast menu is quite plentiful, but here there is a fair amount, but it's considered not a lot. The menu tastes average. There's a very delicious galangal salad with chicken. The bread stays the same and doesn't change.



Today we go on a private snorkeling trip around 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., meeting to board the boat at Sairee Beach. The trip fee is 2,500 baht. There was a slight mistake. The reserved boat was not seated. Got to sit on a boat that I didn't reserve. The trip was an appointment with the captain. He snorkeled and drove the boat and took pictures. But he had errands for his son to pick him up. But it was the wrong group. I meant to come on a trip and the sun was nice, so they compensated for it. One staff member goes with us at no additional cost. Take photos throughout the trip Considering that we can make mistakes, let's just have fun. This trip, we didn't go up Nang Yuan.



Our first snorkeling was at the back of Koh Nang Yuan, a snorkeling called Japanese Garden. There are big rocks.





Picture of a giant chameleon Who comes to swim at this point? You can stop by and take photos. It is in the shape of a large chameleon. Set it under water



Koh Tao, in the Gulf of Thailand, has quite a lot of Indian clownfish. Indian clownfish are not like clownfish. Andaman, there is no white stripe in the middle. The whole body is orange.





When my girlfriend goes on a diving trip, I, who watches the boat on every trip and on every island, must start first. Just riding the boat makes me happy. I'm not good at snorkeling. But I want beautiful pictures. Sometimes he secretly laughs at himself. Ask to sit on the boat every trip. The young boat driver also talked here and there, which was fun.



The second snorkeling point, Light House, is a dive point near Light House Beach. It looks like a large rock. can climb up You can jump in and play in the water.









Stop by to eat boxed food. Before continuing snorkeling This private trip, don't rush. Let's go as you go. But there is no food provided on the boat. We prepared it ourselves. Before getting on the boat, we stopped to buy rice at 7-Eleven. and water prepared



The last snorkeling point of the day, Shark Bay. This point is the last snorkeling point of this trip. It is the spot where there is a giant turtle. A hundred-year-old lives here. Every boat that goes on a trip must come to this spot for tourists to come see the turtles. And sharks, too. But today I went on a trip and didn't see any sharks.



Who did you meet today? Famous Koh Tao stars Fanta Gang Beagle dog Come on a snorkeling trip. Anyone who wants to come snorkel with dogs is recommended to make a reservation in advance. It's a long time. If you come and contact the island, you probably won't get a queue.



The giant turtle weighs a hundred kilograms. A hundred years old Have lived on Koh Tao for many generations. Anyone who comes must come and greet Grandpa. If you haven’t come and seen Grandpa, you haven't arrived yet. Do not touch or touch the turtle. Because it might shock him. run away to another place The boat boy told me that he had run away to another place for a while. Before returning to Shark Bay because there were foreign tourists who went to catch turtles. Normally, no matter how familiar he is and how many people he meets, he shouldn't do it. At present, it seems that you must pay a fine as well.










Finished for snorkeling trip with beautiful pictures. Going on a diving trip to Koh Tao. It really is a paradise for people who like to dive. If you dive deep, how beautiful will it be? There's a lot of stuff under the sea.



Today's dinner I must give it to this restaurant. Happy Land is in the Sairee Beach area. It's delicious, not expensive, not expensive at all. Tam Thai is 80-baht, Pad Thai is about 100 baht. I'm tired of seafood and want something more traditional. The food prices at the resort are very high. Not exaggerating, a plate of seafood with basil costs 350 baht. Every meal, we all come to eat at restaurants outside the resort.





This meal cost about 300 baht. The food was delicious. When I first stopped by in the afternoon, the shop was very quiet. Wherever they opened two hours in front, I forgot to look at the sign. Most shops on Koh Tao open and close during two periods.





Before going to bed, mango sticky rice, 100 baht per box, the most delicious on the island. Because there is only one restaurant (really delicious, soft and fragrant sticky rice)



This trip stayed at two resorts and moved to stay at Koh Tao Hillside. This is the way up and down Dusit Bancha. It's brutal coming here. It's brutal. The road going down to the resort is concrete. But it's very steep and long. Since the resort is on a mountainside next to the sea, it looks like this. Compact size room Coming as a couple is convenient, water, electricity, and air conditioning are complete. There is a long bridge in front of the resort where you can sit and watch the sunset in a relaxed manner.







Breakfast in the room That is, when tourists come to stay at a small resort. Resort staff prepare a set menu to serve to your room. At first, I thought in my heart It's probably just one dish. I understand that when there are few people, the menu must be adjusted according to the number of people staying. Where did you get a big set of flashing lights? I can't eat all of this.



Viewpoint: John-Suwan Viewpoint The way up is considered quite tough. Children and the elderly do not recommend the way. It is quite difficult. Winding through the crevices of the rocks There is a rope to hold onto along the walkway. You can fly a drone to take pictures. But when we went to take photos, there was a signal dead spot as well.



Koh Nang yuan in the evening Koh Nang yuan has a viewpoint where you can walk up to see the view of Koh Nang yuan. There is a service fee for entering Koh Nang Yuan: 50 baht per person (Thais), 200 baht for foreigners. Entry is available around 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. There is a long-tail boat across, 150 baht/person/trip. You can take a ride from Sairee Beach.












MAMA TAHI FOOD shop is in Sairee Beach area. This is a recommended shop. For a la carte food, the price is not expensive. You can drive your motorcycle and park in front of the shop. There are a lot of foreigners.







Really foreign restaurant Thai people only have me at one table. The food is delicious, the price isn't too high, and they focus on filling your stomach, but each menu has a lot to offer.



 Thalas Cafe Koh tao คาเฟ่



Thalas Cafe Koh Tao, a newly opened cafe near Mae Haad Pier, opens very early in the morning. No matter what time you get on the boat, come sit and sip coffee. Before getting on the boat There are many bakeries to choose from. Another area nearby is a souvenir shop.





Check in at the counter When finished, wait to get on the boat. Please get into the correct line. The line was long, I entered the wrong check-in line and got off at the wrong island.



On the way back, upgrade to a VIP room like the one you came back. Let me tell you, on the way back, the VIP room was full. Most were Thai people, mostly foreigners, enjoying the breeze and admiring the view from the rooftop. The only drawback I have is that it was very hot.



Before getting on the boat if you don't want to sit in a crowded place waiting to get on the boat. You can stop by and sit at Amazon. But don't forget to get on the boat. The boat leaves quite punctually.

On the way back, check-in is complete. Come sit and wait to get on the boat. The boat we took will return to Chumphon Pier as usual. Travel time 1.45 hrs.

Before taking the boat back Introducing the facilities at the pier For those who are waiting to board the boat, let's get on the boat.



Amazon coffee shop Mae Haad Pier You can sit and wait for the boat here. There is a place to charge batteries and cool air conditioning. It's close to the boat departure time and then walk to check in.




Toilets are available at Mae Haad Pier. Both men and women are in the pier area. Entry is free of charge.



Top Charoen Eyeglass Shop If you need contact lenses, they also have them at the pier. There is a large shop near the pier.

Motorcycle rental shop From the pier to the resort. But it's good to rent. If you get a new car, it will be very good. Some shops charge a deposit of 3-5,000 baht, which is too high. The deposit is to return the car and get it back. But not every store collects deposits.

First, I would like to recommend Koh Tao further. In case anyone is interested in coming to visit Koh Tao.

Koh Tao is in Surat Thani Province. Traveling to Koh Tao from Chumphon is quite convenient. There is only one boat service company. It is the Lomprayah speed boat. Not counting the sleeping boat. Traveling here is not difficult. But you must plan your trip because there are quite a lot of tourists. Accommodation, ferries across the island, and diving trips should be booked in advance. Even a motorcycle rental shop Because sometimes when you get to the resort, the resort will contact you to rent a motorcycle. Some shops insist that some shops collect a deposit of 5,000 baht. Koh Tao is always a beautiful island. Since we traveled to the Gulf of Thailand, we have been to many islands. Koh Tao is number one in my heart. Because you don't have to take a boat far away, you can dive right away. Or some resorts have them. Coral in front of the resort If it is a small child or an elderly person Recommend staying at Sairee Beach area. Because it's not very far from the pier and you don't have to go up and down the mountain. Teenagers should also drive motorcycles. with caution because the road There's the same brutality. See you again next trip.
