What to do in Koh Tao
FISHIGN
Friends who actively fish around Koh Tao say that they sometimes get both Sail
Fish and Marlins just off the coast of Koh Tao. The best time for fishing is said
to be late afternoon at around 1700.
Another way to relax and fish is to buy some fishing gear from Aukotan (large
retail store between Mae Haad and Chalok Ban Khao) and rent a kayak. It’s a nice
relaxing way to spend an afternoon in the sun. Bring water and sunscreens
NIGHT LIFE
Koh Tao can have a pretty wild nightlife. The bars are generally a little more
chilled, and a lot less crowded than the huge full moon parties on the nearby
island of Koh Phangan, but with a bucket of Thai whiskey being passed around the
dance floor you can quickly find yourself lost in a party that will continue through
to the early morning.
Professional DJ's from all over the world spin their very best. Fire jugglers
frequently perform on the beaches. Each night of the week will find a different
party. Look out for flyers at shops and taxis. Most of the bigger clubs have dance
floors on the beach, a couple up in the mountains.
There are also plenty of more relaxed, chilled little bars along the beaches in
which to warm up for the parties or just unwind and get into the music.
Some places show live sports, some have pool tables and now & then places
with daily changing movie programs invite you to come in and enjoy. Thai boxing
is performed at irregular times- check for flyers on the street. Don't miss it!
