just learning this gig ( doing photos ) so i'll give it a crack.
ok,
koh tao is a small island 21 sq klm, situated in the gulf of thailand.
its 78 klm from chumphon on the main land and 47 klm from the nearest island which is koh phan-gan.
the island is famous for diving, partying and drop dead gorgeous young backpackers who love to get there fun bags out at every oppertunity.
sounds great dont it, but its also turning into a family location where people can bring there kiddys for some snorkling and fun.
my self and 2 partners started the second dive operation in 1989 called "ban's diving centre and today there are approx 46 shops operating, so it gives you an idea on how this island has developed. i sold out after 7 years as things where getting to big and serious with the large operations moving in.
i continue to go back every year, have tracked its development from the get go and many of the locals who had nothing are now millionairs running massive tourist operations.
anyway it is still the most traveller friendly island in the gulf, as samui is fuked up and koh phan-gan is getting there, especially with had rinn destroyed by the full mooning fire twirling israili twats.
koh tao still has secluded bays left where one can stay in a beach hut in a stunning location but one must get off there arse and get around.
im new at posting photos and still learning, so bare with me as ive got some crackers. to show the punting public.
cheers.
