Koh Pha Ngan to Koh Tao Will we be sad to leave Koh Pha Ngan today? Maybe slightly. But with another swaying palm tree destination calling our names, we're hardly sobbing into our backpacks.

Koh Tao to Koh Samui Today we swap one ocean paradise for another, departing Koh Tao and cruising the turquoise waters to reach Koh Samui. Can snorkelling, swimming, soaking up the rays and sipping on fresh coconuts ever get boring? Hmm...no.

Admire the mighty Wat Phra Yai temple with its 15-metre golden Buddha statue, or see the super on-trend mummified monk at Wat Khunaram. Finally, dance the night away at ...
