And I finally found the sea
A Thai girl told me that for her this is the best island in the world. Of course, she hasn't seen every one of them..neither I did, but this place will be hard to forget..
After traveling all night long I arrive at the Chumphon Pier and I take my ferry, destination Koh Tao, the small and beautiful Island to the north of Koh Samui, east coast of Thailand.
The island is famous as backpacker destination, the main activity here are scuba diving, snorkeling, and enjoying the parties taking place every night in the bar street.
Arrived at my hostel the day is almost gone, March in Thailand has very short days, the sunset is around 6:30 pm.
I decide to go for a walk and explore a bit the area, I want to see the sea, make the first swim and enjoy the sunset eating something local.
The plan works perfectly and my dinner looked like this..
My first sunset in Koh Tao, Thailand
The following two days and two nights are as I expected them to be, paradisiac beaches, wild nature, good food, adventurous excursions, late nights and wonderful days..
Koh Nang Yuan, a very small island or better part of Koh Tao
It's here that I start to think: "Well, I found what I was looking for.."
Koh Nang Yuan, point view
..and after the incredible warm walk, it is time for a deserved swim in this paradise..
The days run really fast, my schedule is to stay on the island around two or three days, the reason is that the Koh Phangan "Full Moon Party" is incoming.
I then decide to enjoy my last evening visiting this beautiful temple and having a dinner on the beach.
The main temple on the island.
Believe me, eating fresh fish with this view and in this atmosphere is something without a price. Anyway, the cost of the dinner was ridiculous!

As said, the time is coming and the parties are calling. Next stop: Koh Phangan, the island of the full moon party..

I imagine it was an awesome experience!
But most importantly, I have to ask.....
Did you encounter and chicks with dicks? ;)
I love Thailand, I've had the privilege of visiting a few times. Pittaya is certainly one of my favorite places, I would love to discover other parts of Thailand other than Bangkok.
I was in Pattaya during my second travel in Thailand, crazy crazy place..ahah
The Hilton Pattaya is one of the best hotels to stay at in the area. I didn't explore Pattaya as i would have liked, I guess I was just recovering from Jet Lag. Perhaps another time, I'll make the best of it all.
Well, I didn´t arrive at the point to really "verify it" ahah, but ladyboys are something really common there! XD
So I've heard! :))
It's one of the things Thailand is famous for. Aside from gorgeous beaches and views, of course!
Hope you have a good time there :D
Sure I had, I will write the following soon ;-)
Not only are ladyboys common, but so are the 'money boys' lol
Thailand has so many faces, all of them beautiful. You really captured it well.
I know so many people that have been to Thailand and the pictures are never the same; it's such a beautiful place. 100% on my bucket list.
I was there three times already, I would like to tell the story of all my three travels. I highly recommend this country, but as I understood, I don't need to convince you! ;-)
Beautiful experience and pictures.
Thank you! It really was..
These photos are really great!
