Thailand prides itself in the fact that it is the only country in Southeast Asia that has never been a colony of another country. It also prides itself in its strong Buddhist tradition. Although Christianity was introduced to Thailand by European missionaries in the 16th century, Christians constituted only 0.7 percent (438,600) of the population by the year 2001. Portugal was the first country to send Christian missionaries to Thailand, in 1554. The French followed in 1660. Most of the early missionaries were Catholic, and by 1908, Thailand had approximately 50 Catholic schools with nearly 4,000 pupils. Today, approximately 25 percent of the Christian population is Roman...
By the end of October in Thailand finishes so called "rain season", so now it's just the right time to visit this country and to see all its sightseeing. Before going to one of its sea resorts, most of which have recovered from the last year's tsunami, it could be very interesting to spend some time in Thailand's capital - Bangkok. Bangkok is 8-million metropolis. You can live here for several years but still find something new. However 24 hours is quite enough to fall in love with the city and to see the best it can offer. For the last 200 years Bangkok has been the residence of the Tai's kings. Live in Bangkok boils up round the clock. All the big shops and small stores are open 24...
Koh Tao which literally means Turtle Island, is an island in the Gulf of Thailand, and is a great place for divers who want to escape from places like Koh Samui, because it is a bit quieter, perhaps because it isn’t very easy to reach, in fact your only option is by boat.
The options depend on where you are travelling from:
From the south it will take about three hours by ferry from Surat Thani on the mainland, one and a half hours from Koh Samui, and around an hour from Ko Pha Ngan. You might wish to take an overnight ferry from Surat Thani, it leaves about eleven o’ clock at night and arrives early morning, but if you use this option, get there early to grab a good mattress position, and be warned they are old cargo boats, and very basic, so you might feel happier with your own inflatable life jacket!!
If you're coming from the north, Chumphon is the place you will travel from and here you will find agents selling tickets for all kind of boats, some take as little as 90 minutes, but others will take 5 hours, so you choose according to how much you want to spend.
Another way is to get yourself on a day diving charter from Koh Samui, these are high speed boats, and you could make Koh Tao in around an hour.
However if it is comfort you are after, and a choice of departure points, such as Ko Samui, Ko Pha Ngan and Chumphon, then the Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran is probably the fastest and most comfortable way to get to Ko Tao. They run twice daily, have online booking, air conditioning, and movies.
When you get to Koh Tao there are some safety issues you need to address
You need to go snorkelling at Shark Bay, see the sunset from the Thipimarn restaurant, and generally walk everywhere, because you will see more and enjoy it more.
