Koh Tao, Thailand
From series “The Most Beautiful Islands on the Planet”
Thailand has the wonderfully beautiful, attractive islands that are also worth seeing for curious tourists. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao Island is named after the giant tortoises living next to the island. One of the main secrets of the Thai island are the tiny gulfs and the hard-to-access beaches, which can only be reached by the off-road vehicle. As soon as you can find a better place for quiet recreation and enjoyment of nature nearby.
For several years the island has been among the divers and snorkelers. Here there are a lot of excellent places for diving with the dive machine. The ideal places for swimming with the snorkel are located next to all the wonderful beaches. Apart from the colorful fish you can see the small rays and even the reef sharks on the coast, which, unlike the predatory sharks, are absolutely safe. The beach Ao Leuk will please those who like to relax on the picturesque sandy beaches.

Top destination around Koh Tao - Ko Tao Island
Another nuance you should remember when renting a motorbike or a car: don’t leave your passport as collateral. There is a high chance that the crooked owners will ask you to pay for the non-existent repairing of a vehicle to get your document back. If you don’t have an A-category driving license and an additional insurance, the insurance company won’t cover the cost for the hospital in case of an accident, even if it wasn’t your fault. There will also be no payment if you consumed any amount of alcohol before the accident.
When talking to a Thai, remember that the head is a sacred part of the body for the locals and you shouldn’t touch it. It is also unacceptable to give or take something with an “unclean” left hand, which they use here for the hygiene. On the whole, the locals are quite conservative, and they disapprove of any disturbance from the travelers, even out of ignorance. The inhabitants of Ko Tao speak in calm and moderate tone, keeping a smile on a face. Thai smile everywhere and always and they expect a smile and a calm tone from the person they are talking to. The important thing is to just smile without a reason.
