Me and my husband (he proposed on Koh Tao) ended up retning the first two stories house in sairee hut resort for three weeks, two years ago. Was nice to see that it still stands. ☺️ Miss Koh Tao so much. Stuck in sweden. 😢

But great to catch up with you again. This is such a great adventure. Thanks so much for taking us along with you. We were meant to be in Thailand right now but it was cancelled. Gutted.

When I was there in 2010 I didn’t see many people going out to Nang Yuan. I frankly don’t think there were even 10,000 tourists on Koh Tao. I’m curious to see how it has changed. Next time I’m there I think I’ll try to swim out to Nang Yuan, probably with snorkel gear.

Yes, be careful renting bikes ANYWHERE (not just KT or Thailand;). But in this case, she charged just 150 baht ($5) delivered the bike to my hotel, then took time to point out any scratches etc (and asked me to film also:) . Then she gave safety instructions, took a photo of my Passport and off I went. Lovely lady, great service, superb price :):):)

No worries. IF (or rather when) Thailand incorporates and enforces all of one's 'desired' nanny state rules and regs same as 'back home', may as well just stay home then....(zzzz) In this case, yes, I belatedly saw some potential danger but could have just called the boat guy to come back. However, the challenge just added to the adventure and made it across just fine thx. Loved it actually! Cheers

Sure, $60 for a cottage on an idyllic tropical isle paradise may seem a bit pricey but It's all relative. For example, pay a bit more in my home town and you might get a crappy motel 6... Or, instead of staying on that secluded exclusive island, stay at Sairee Beach opposite for less than $30 and enjoy dinner from $2 or less. There, sorted :)
