Activities
Koh Tao can be easily explored: Rent a moped
for 150 Baht (US$3.50) a day. This will get you to most of the
beaches. Take a taxi and leave the bike home at night, we have
seen to many tourists with nasty bruises and cuts after drinking
and riding.
Hiking
can be an enjoyable experience. Pick the right times of the
day and make sure you have plenty of fluids on hand.
Thai
cooking classes are offered by local Thai cuisine experts.
There
is a full gym on the island for fitness buffs. A relaxing and
invigorating Thai massage is something not to be missed. People
interested in Thai Boxing will find boxing matches several times
a week on the island.
Rent
a snorkel from the UTOPIA SUITES office. You'll be surprised
at the variety of fish only steps away. The boat wreck near
Sensi Paradise is a great spot to start out, but most beaches
offer great snorkeling. Deep-Sea fishing is a favorite and affordable
sport but make sure you pack enough sunscreen. You're almost
guaranteed to catch something and afterwards enjoy some fresh
fish on a BBQ. The crew will be happy to filet the fish for
you for a few Baht or a few fish in return.
Nightlife
is plentiful: Take your pick. Many beachside disco's, relaxing
jazz bars, sports bars are all open to an array of international
visitors. Make some new friends! If your style does not quite
suit the disco scene, cozy smaller bars with pool tables and
a diverse international clientele are spread throughout the
island.
Shops
of all varieties are plentiful. Don't be afraid to bargain.
Koh Tao (Turtle Island) has blossomed to be one of the "coolest"
places in the tropics. The atmosphere is relaxed and cordial.
Restaurants offering every type of cuisine have flourished,
bars and shops are plentiful, and the beach discos provide a
colorful and vibrant nightlife.
Communication
aficionados will find email shops to be widespread and within
walking distance anywhere on Mea Head and Sairee Beach.
Our
luxury apartments are centrally located on Mae Head and for
most of your needs a taxi or moped rental will not be necessary.
We are certain of one thing: on your flight back home you will
already be planning your return to this spectacular little island
in the sun.
