Breakfast and transfer to the landing-stage of Chumpon.To go to Kho Tao island we shall take the speed boat for a two and half hour's sailing.At first the boat sails on the natural waterway formed by the mouth of the river,where the most dynamic fishing port of the region lies.Early in the morning hard work is very often under way.At the end of the morning we shall reach Turtle Island ( Kho Tao ) which gets its name from its shape.It has an area of only 21 square km and its ethnic population of about a thousand people mainly live on fishing, coconut and more recently on tourism centered especially on diving for,as we shall see, the island abound in coral reefs.As soon as we arrive on the island we will settle in our comfortable (air conditioning,bathroom)"charm" Resort with a view over the sea.For you, we have selected one of the best hotels in Kho Tao.We'll have lunch in a little seaside restaurant and then we shall go off to explore the island on steep winding inland paths following the mountainous relief of the island.We will reach splendid little creeks and admire the turquoise waters .
(This little excursion can be made either on motorcycles or in local cars according to your wishes).
Optional, after an early dinner, we'll suggest a night fishing trip on a fishing boat operated by its owner(calmar and other fish are found there). |
