Itinerary description
|
Not everything is to dive in this paradisiac island !! You can also run, and very well. There is a wikiloc user with many routes posted, but unfortunately I did not pass them to the GPS before going, and then I could not download them from third-party computers. So I researched a few, and I found it on a map marked as trekking. It is an easy route, first you have to go to the port where the ferries arrive, and go along the coast road to the south. Sometimes it seems that you go through a resort inside, but nothing happens, you can walk, and the way is like that. It borders all the south-west part of Koh Tao, passing through 7 beaches, each one more beautiful, crossing forests, sometimes asphalt road, sometimes footpath and with the appearance of being little traveled. But technically it does not have any problem. It is worthwhile to stop on the beaches and enjoy each one of them. I made the route at 7 o'clock in the morning, in June, it is very hot afterwards. And it is convenient to bring some water, I had a bottle in my hand (the route is short, you should not exaggerate either, but there are no springs, although you can always ask for water in a resort, there are many on the way.
On the way back to the hotel where I was trying to shorten by a shortcut that I invented, but was unsuccessful (the last curve that appears).
In short, a paradisiacal island where many things can be done. Of course, if after running a couple of dives in the crystal clear waters and coral (or simply snorkeling), it is difficult to leave there ....

La ruta empieza bien... Pagando 100 baths para poder entrar en la primera playa, continúa mejor viendo los múltiples hoteles y resorts abandonados y ya lo remata cuando estas yendo a la playa June juea donde el camino no está señalizado, lleno de maleza y sin ninguna senda clara y si te paras... Presa de los mosquitos( ponte repelente que con la humedad de la isla vas a gastar un bote al día)
No es aconsejable si quieres visitar playas a pie o pasar el día de forma sosegada. Vete John suwan y a freedom Beach y no pierdas el tiempo.
Habría que hacer un buen álbum de fotos de lo descuidada/asquerosa que está la isla y todas sus calas y playas
