Koh Tao literally translates to “turtle Island” because the mountains are shaped like a turtle or some say simply because there are turtles on the island. If you’re looking for a relatively cheap place to dive, Koh Tao is the place for you. The diving sites are beautiful and you have more than 80 diving schools to choose from. If diving isn’t your thing, you can try snorkeling and even swim with sharks if you’re up for an adventure. If eating amazing food is more you you’re in the right place. You’ll find yourself making the tough decision on where to eat due to the immense amount of delicious options. The best decision you’ll make is when you decide to go Island hopping, you’ll have the time of your life. You can grab a VIP bus in Bangkok and then catch a songserm ferry to Koh Tao. This island connects to other islands like Koh Samui, Phuket, Koh Phangen etc.

When you think about Thailand, visiting Phuket comes almost first to mind. With more than one quarter of a million people living here, it’s safe to say that it’s a very large island, in fact, it’s the largest island in all of Thailand. It’s a very popular destination among travelers because it’s considered an affordable place to go. There are many things to love about Phuket, the pristine beaches, clear water and cheap eats. The weather is pretty much comfortable all year around, running between 21- 31 Celsius. However there are some months with heavy rain known as monsoon season and than can happen between May to October. Trust me when I say, you won’t be bored here, you can take cooking classes, see wild animals up close or even get yourself pampered with massages. When you’re ready to go to the next island,luckily this well connected place can get you pretty much anywhere. Catch a bus or ferry to places like Koh Phi Phi, Krabi or Bangkok, and so much more!
