Despite being overshadowed by its larger siblings Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, travellers are increasingly in search of a more calm island escape. While the other islands have their fair share of parties, Koh Tao is best renowned for being a diving destination. There is no better spot to acquire your PADI open water certification than this location, which offers moderately priced training and some of the best marine species in the area.

Veganism is a conscientious way of living that aims to avoid all forms of animal abuse and brutality as much as possible. This includes the exploitation of food as well as all other uses.

Koh Tao, a little island in Thailand's Gulf of Thailand, has evolved from a backpacker's scuba diving paradise to a legitimate beach destination. Previously, luxury hotels and villas on the island were unheard of, but now there are several 5 Star hotels on Koh Tao for those with a little more cash to spend.

Beginning August 1st, tourism officials will propose allowing fully vaccinated travellers to go to Koh Samui and the two neighbouring islands following a seven-day stay on Phuket.

Our island needs to look to the future, we cannot rest on our laurels, times are changing and we must embrace this. Crypto is part of our future, and we as business owners must be ready to embrace change to survive

Many of the island's activities, sports, and must-see attractions have a strong relationship to the sea and marine life. Plus the island is beautiful and so when you’ve done everything there is still plenty of opportunities to relax afterwards.

"We don't know how many foreign tourists will return as Phuket reopens in July. Thai tourists may be worried that the price of hotel rooms, food, and tour packages in Phuket may increase, so not many will visit," Mr Wichai said.

Since the new legislation came into effect, many businesses on Koh Phangan have jumped at the opportunity to include cannabis in their products. Currently, these businesses can only use the stalks and leaves, not the bud that gets you high. However, other parts of the cannabis plant do include THC and CBD in them so people can still experience the medicinal effects.

While living there we started seeing the potential in this place and started making some plans with it. As soon as we took over the place, we added a swimming pool.

We see Chanabis having a bright future across the world, especially in Asia (the word Cha means tea in Mandarin also) so we want to take our time, do everything right and choose a select group of partners to be involved with.
