Ko Tao, Thailand You readers have never let me down in the past, so please don’t start now. Let’s just see whether any of you can help out The Edge Crew on our forthcoming trip to Thailand in March. This is Ko Tao (above) and it’s probably a small enough island for us to figure it all out for ourselves over 3 or 4 days. Having said that, any tips and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and can you take a (hired) scooter over there from the mainland on the ferry, or is it best to hire another one once you dock on Ko Tao? What I’d most appreciate your help with is our time spent in Hua Hin, which is approx. a couple of hours drive south of Bangkok. We’re going to be based there for the best part of a week and I’m wondering what places are worth visiting around Hua Hin, such as Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Hat Sam Phraya (you’ve just got to love their resort names) and Thap Sakae. In fact, pretty much anywhere any of you could recommend down that entire coastline from Samut Songkhram to Chumphon. Anywhere south of Chumphon I think we’ll struggle to reach, being based in Hua Hin, but if there is somewhere that’s exceptional, please let me know as we could always venture there before or after our time on Ko Tao. I hate getting trips abroad wrong and I don’t even know if I’ve done the right thing by focusing on Hua Hin, so the more info you can supply me with, readers, the better. shaun@theedgemag.co.uk
