A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Koh Tao, Thailand by TravelPod blogger Mericanomad titled “Turtle Island” Mericanomad’s travel blog entry: “We arrived via a 2 hour boat ride on the last leg of our 3 island jaunt through the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Tao(Turtle Island) is famous for diving and issues the 2nd most PADI certificates in the world next to some place in Australia. Ana did 2 dives here, one was OK, the other was cut short because someone in her group got lost. We only stayed 2 nights since we were sick of beaches and determined to go to Cambodia before we have to be back to Krabi to meet Ana’s mom. Koh Tao is really nice. I think I like it the best out of it’s 2 more popular neighbors. The construction and roads have been done more tastefully than the other 2. However, it’s currently under heavy construction and not quite polished. I imagine in a couple of years all the cheap bungalows will have been replaced by more upmarket accomadations. Of the 3 islands I would definately come back here to do some more exploring. We have a 3 hour boat ride and 7 hour bus to Bangkok.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Boat ride to Koh Tao” 2. “Boat ride between islands” 3. “Koh Tao harbor” 4. “Koh Tao Pier” 5. “Sunset from Hotel” 6. “Koh Tao street” 7. “Street scene” 8. “-11, everywhere in Thailand” 9. “Alley” 10. “No cars, yes bikes” 11. “Another street” 12. “Backpackers on the move” 13. “Near our hotel” 14. “minutes away …
