Hi there!
I'm planning on going to Koh Tao from mid August to mid September. I know the diving may not be the best, but this trip's focus is more an internal one than an external one. What I want the most is to be somewhere tranquil, get some R&R, and do some introspection. Along with some diving, I would like to do yoga, and get lots of massages ;-)
A few initial questions which come to mind are:
- Neighbourhood? Would you recommend northern Sairee or Chalok? I'm not going to be very mobile because I can't ride a motorbike, so I want to be somewhere which is 5-10 minutes walking distance from the beach, dive shop, and yoga studio. My budget for a month's accommodation is about 10k to 12k baht.
- Dive shop? With so many of them around, I'm pretty confused! I'm a moderately experienced diver and will mainly be doing fun dives. I like shops that make an effort to make groups matched on experience, and prefer smaller companies to the larger ones
- Yoga? I'm a novice, so looking for a place which gives attention to and caters to beginners.
Thanks a bunch for the information which I have already received from some of you who may be on here and the facebook group I'm in... And looking forward to hearing from the others!
Cheers!
