Koh Tao - Heavenly Island in South Thailand

Koh Tao is a beautiful small island in south Thailand. We arrived on March 27th and decided to spend the next 8 days in one spot and enjoy all this beautiful island had to offer. We stayed at Blue Wind Bungalows and stayed in a beautiful beachside bungalow with private bathroom for 500 baht/night ($15.15 CDN).

What did we do??

SLEPT, RELAXED, SAT ON THE BEACH, READ, SNORKELED (pictures to be posted at a later date once film is developed), SLEPT AGAIN, ATE GREAT FOOD, DID SOME WORK (yes, hard to believe we know – see pics below), DRANK AND ENJOYED THE SUN, WHITE SANDS AND BLUE WATERS

Can you say pure paradise!!!!!

Take a break from office work and enjoy the pictures below. We wish you were all here with us…perhaps a group trip to south Thailand one day soon!!

Many a great sunsets


Delicious dinners right on the beach


Beautiful setting – water, sand and lush greenery

Thank goodness for swimming lessons before leaving Vancouver (doesn’t matter that the water in this pic is not even 1 foot deep)


Has anyone seen these two?


Enjoying life

Walking on the beach


Having fun with a new friend…there are SO many dogs here, it’s amazing yet sad as most of them have no owners


On the beach with a beer, what more could I ask for??


Anybody see a boat??


Goodbye beautiful Koh Tao..until next time…
