00:00You won't believe what you're about to see, I'm in paradise, look at this beauty, how I go from one
00:06From one side of the sea to the other, in a matter of seconds, my travelers, and I'm in Thailand and I give you the
00:13Welcome to Kotao.
00:17This place is not a single island, it is actually three small islands connected by a strip of white sand
00:24in the middle of the sea, something that is not so common to see in the world.
00:28And the most impressive thing is that you can walk from one to the other in a matter of seconds, as if you were crossing
00:35between two oceans.
00:37I have reached the summit, my travelers, and from here the view is breathtaking.
00:43Here you can jump right in and the water is there, the perfect temperature.
00:52The number of fish we've seen has been incredible, the corals were so vibrant, with so many colors.
01:02Join me as we discover one of the most stunning islands in Southeast Asia, Kotao.
01:08To get here, take a flight from Bangkok to Chumpong.
01:12Then an hour in a van to reach the Lompraya dock.
01:16And finally, two hours sailing on the ferry.
01:18But the most interesting thing isn't how to get there, it's discovering what truly makes this place magical and unique.
01:25place.
01:27After that long and rather eventful trip, I recommend that if you're usually one of those who...
01:33tide,
01:33Take a little pill because that ship was going like that.
01:36But I've finally arrived in Kotao, this beautiful island that's famous for being one of the
01:43most impressive in all of Thailand.
01:46We arrived at this little dock.
01:47I'm going to quickly drop my things off at my hotel so we can go and enjoy this wonderful island.
01:59This is an island where, from the moment you arrive, you begin to feel all that vibrant energy.
02:04Lots of young people traveling, groups of friends with their huge backpacks.
02:08I would have loved to travel like that when I was younger with all my friends.
02:12But you really do walk around and see too many little shops, fruit stands, restaurants, a little bit of everything.
02:24And the best way to get around this island is to rent a
02:30moped.
02:30Because if you walk you'll waste a lot of time, and if you decide to take a taxi, it will take longer.
02:36Well, practically the minimum fare will cost you what the day's motorcycle rental costs.
02:41It came out at 200 watts.
02:42That's about $6.50.
02:46There are too many places to rent.
02:49In fact, as you walk along, I think what you'll see most are motorcycle rental companies.
02:53Now, one piece of advice, and I want you to listen to this, is that you shouldn't leave it anywhere, not even here in Thailand,
02:59nor anywhere in the world your passport.
03:02And here they require you to pay for 200 watts daily, but you have to leave your physical passport until...
03:08the moment you hand over the motorcycle.
03:10And I've seen some cases on social media where passports get lost.
03:13So I'm going to give you this recommendation, which is that you tell him, no, look, I'm not going to let
03:18my passport.
03:18Here's another ID document, and what I'm going to do is pay you a deposit.
03:23I paid a $100 deposit for two days, and if I return the motorcycle in good condition, they will return it to me.
03:27So, well, now we need to drive carefully, that's for sure, because there are a lot of young people who might not be so...
03:33responsible.
03:34So one there gently and here it's handled on the left side.
03:37Which one was my motorcycle? This one.
03:39Put the helmet on me.
03:40I don't think they're that strict about helmets here either, but it's better to have one for your own safety.
03:46Okay, let's go, but motorcyclists rule!
03:50I feel bad.
03:58Wow! My travelers, look at this beauty.
04:01I present to you the longest and most famous beach in Cotao.
04:06It's called Saire Beach and it has me amazed.
04:09I took my motorbike and in about five minutes I was already on this beach, which I hadn't imagined would be so perfect.
04:16with such beautiful sand.
04:17And wow, that water just touched my feet and it's nice and warm.
04:22They say this is the best place for night parties right on the beach.
04:28So we'll check that later.
04:30Right now, what I want is to walk around and see what we find.
04:34Cotao means turtle island.
04:37Today it is one of the most famous islands in Thailand and is considered one of the best places
04:43of the world to learn to dive.
04:45Its crystal-clear waters, reefs, and relaxed atmosphere attract thousands of travelers every year.
04:54I upload all the photos and videos I take in real time to all my social media accounts.
05:00And the thing is, I never, ever run out of internet, not even on paradise islands like this one.
05:06To be honest, I don't like having to depend on whether the Wi-Fi is good or bad in the
05:11place I arrive.
05:11So I always prepare before every trip, and just before returning to Thailand, I bought my eSIM.
05:17by Seili.
05:18You don't need to change the physical SIM card, you just download the app, choose the country you're traveling to, and make purchases.
05:25the plan and you activate it in a matter of minutes.
05:27I'll show you how to do it quickly.
05:29You open the Seili app, click on add plan, choose the country, in my case Thailand, a plan of
05:355 GB.
05:36Then you click on "you have a coupon" and right there you'll enter the code VERO and it will show you
05:41the discount applied.
05:42And that's it! The best part is that you can activate the plan before traveling, and you'll already have it when you land.
05:47With internet access, you'll be able to communicate with your hotel, request transportation, use the translator, and all this without paying a cent.
05:53Absurd roaming.
05:54Seili has global and regional plans, so if you're going to tour several countries like I did, don't
06:00You need to change the eSIM; simply change the country from the application and you're done.
06:04If you're also traveling soon, you can get a 15% discount by using my code VERO right away.
06:11to pay.
06:11You know, it's very easy, just download the Seili app or go to their website seili.com.
06:19and you apply the code.
06:20I want to see you posting all your photos and videos in real time with Seili's plans.
06:25Now then, I'm going to continue exploring my side.
06:30As you walk along this little beach you will see several hotels, restaurants and especially different diving schools.
06:38And I don't know if you knew this, but Cotao is one of the best places in the world.
06:43So you can have your first dive, your first experience, and finally learn to dive, this beautiful activity
06:50here.
06:50So I walk along and see amazing landscapes.
06:54In fact, we're just passing by and right now a small boat is arriving with a lot of people
06:59who have just come from scuba diving.
07:01It's a pretty Instagrammable little beach.
07:04Just imagine, I've only just started walking along it and I've found this swing where you can take really nice pictures.
07:11But right now, where I'm going is exactly to that big rock.
07:17And something I love, especially on the beaches of Thailand, on the islands, is that it has
07:21Those landscapes and those contrasts between clear water, lots of vegetation, mountains and also these stones that are thousands of years old.
07:34This whole place is beautiful, I love my travelers.
07:39I think it's time to try that water.
07:42I already put on my Verónica Waffer Swing World swimsuit and I love that it's perfect any time of year
07:48When you come to Thailand, you'll always have this warm water.
07:52And that's why they say it's one of the best places for diving, because the temperature is always...
07:57Perfect.
07:58And the beach has no pebbles at all, it's just sand; you can even see some little fish from up here.
08:04without even having to dive.
08:06And despite Thailand becoming increasingly famous and popular, receiving millions of tourists, notice that
08:12This place is quiet, it has people, it has atmosphere, but in a relaxed way, without too many crowds.
08:19And that's something that's really appreciated during this peak season.
08:29And this is the Saire Beach boulevard, a super pretty boulevard with lots of little shops, ice cream parlors, restaurants, it looks beautiful.
08:38But what I'm looking for right now is a taxi boat.
08:42Koh Tao is known for having a paradise island on this island.
08:48So I'm going to find that taxi so we can leave; it's about a 10-minute ride and I already saw that it costs 10.
08:53dollars per person.
09:02In this traditional little boat I'm going to Konanjuan, the paradisiacal little island that Koh Tao has.
09:10Ugh, I think this is the way I'm going to go.
09:13We did it.
09:14Everywhere I'd seen it cost 300 baht per person, however they charged me 400, I don't know if because
09:21What did they give me, the camera or inflation?
09:23But that's still about 12 dollars.
09:34My God, Konanjuan is such a beautiful place.
09:38There are only about 10 minutes left sailing.
09:42And the captain was coming in slow, slow, super smooth.
09:46But look, I'm just walking along the pier and the number of fish, of sardines, that you can see from here
09:52Up above is impressive.
09:54And also all the immense rocks.
09:56So let's go for a walk, we have to pay an entrance fee to access the beach, settle in and enjoy.
10:12Wow, my fellow travelers, Konanjuan is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen in Thailand.
10:19It's impossible for you to come to Koh Tao and not come to this paradise that's only 10 minutes away.
10:25And look for yourselves at the entire landscape behind me.
10:29All those green mountains, the rocks, and also the super clear water.
10:35But perhaps what makes this place so amazing are these sandy paths where the two collide
10:41waters on the right side and on the left side.
10:44And that makes it look like a total paradise.
10:47Konanjuan is undoubtedly one of the most photographed places in all of Thailand.
10:52Its famous strip of sand, known as Sandbar, connects three small islands forming this unique landscape.
10:59And the most incredible thing is that you can experience it while walking.
11:03Don't believe what you're about to see, because I want you to come with me, because look at this
11:08It's easy to cross to the other side of the beach.
11:10There we are in a beautiful place, my traveler.
11:14A paradise.
11:15I want you to comment right now on how many points you give this beautiful little beach, because you haven't seen everything yet.
11:20I'm still going to take you to an amazing place.
11:291, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 testing.
11:31I can't hear you, my travelers.
11:33I just drowned out another microphone.
11:35I'm going to leave you the little video and when I was running it turns out I dropped it.
11:39DJ microphones are very good in one respect because they withstand wind and everything.
11:44But on the other hand, look, this is a magnet and this got stuck to me.
11:48So, this fell into the water.
11:49I've won a challenge of all the microphones I've drowned in beaches, pools, rivers, and they're expensive.
11:55This alone costs over $150.
11:58I have two more and they are at the hotel.
12:00So from this moment on, if you hear wind, forgive me, I have nothing more to do.
12:11I'm walking towards the most beautiful spot on this island, which is up there.
12:16And what I love is that all the while you can see the whole beach, the spectacular gradient of blue.
12:24And I truly find it fascinating how beautiful it is.
12:27Something that makes me a little sad is that this place is too beautiful to fly a drone in.
12:33And all the spectacular sandy paths can be seen.
12:36However, everywhere you look there are signs that say no drone.
12:40I brought it here to Jocuito, I won't be able to fly it.
12:43But I have a friend who did come and I'm sure I'm going to ask him for that little tummy to show you.
12:54The landscape changed completely and now we are climbing these very steep stairs.
13:01The good thing is that I'm covered by a lot of trees so I have shade.
13:05But now, my travelers, we'll have a while to get there.
13:07I'm going to turn the camera around so you can see all the stairs.
13:10So if you haven't liked it yet, like it and subscribe.
13:12I'm tired.
13:23I made a quick stop in Jocuito, which was there, to buy water.
13:27I had brought a small bottle of water with me, but it was made of plastic.
13:31And at the moment of entry they took it away from me because on the island you can't bring anything, no plastic at all.
13:36So here they sell it to you in a little glass bottle.
13:38And I really needed it because I was so, so thirsty.
13:42Look here, now things are getting rougher.
13:45Especially if you're wearing flip-flops like me.
13:48Because the stone path begins.
13:50Look at that.
13:51Here we go, almost there.
14:04I can't believe it.
14:06I have reached the summit, my travelers, and from here the view is breathtaking.
14:12I can tell you that this is my third time in Thailand.
14:14I have visited many beaches, spectacular islands.
14:17And I think this one is my favorite.
14:19How beautiful! I can still walk down here a little to admire the scenery and take such beautiful photos as this.
14:27this.
14:28I need to hurry because the line to take the photo is a bit long.
14:33So, quick, a photo for social media and we're going downstairs.
14:42That was great, I sweated so much climbing until the viewpoint was totally worth it.
14:48But now I've finally taken all the photos I needed to take and I want to dive into this little water!
14:54take a bath.
14:54Oh, how delicious!
14:56The water is warm and that's what I love about Thailand.
14:59Water is always like that.
15:00I don't think you'll ever arrive at a beach and find it cold.
15:03That you have to get involved little by little.
15:06Here you can jump right in and the water's there.
15:08The perfect temperature.
15:10It's good that the sun finally came out because it had been cloudy for a moment.
15:14A dark cloud was coming and I started to rain.
15:16But it didn't clear up again.
15:19I want to know what you think of this beautiful place.
15:23This water is so clear.
15:25And let me know if Thailand is among those destinations you want to visit soon.
15:32The most beautiful moment of this video has arrived.
15:35We're going snorkeling.
15:37They say that these points are more incredible for seeing a lot of weights.
15:40So wish me luck.
15:42The rental mask here cost me about $5.50.
15:45200 baht.
15:46But they require you to provide your passport as a deposit.
15:50Hey ma'am, how can I give you my passport for 5 dollars?
15:52So if you don't want to give your passport because obviously I don't bring my passport to the beach.
15:56You have to leave a deposit of 1000 baht, which is about $35.
16:00But that's better than losing your passport.
16:02So let's go into the water.
16:20And after burning so much energy, you can't imagine how hungry I was.
16:25So I came to this restaurant with a super nice view of the beach.
16:29And I ordered a pesto pasta with cherry tomatoes and salmon.
16:34Because I love salmon and I wanted to eat plenty of protein.
16:37And it came to me like a little salmon.
16:39I don't think that will fulfill me.
16:41But at least he looks rich.
16:43So enjoy your meal, my travelers.
16:45Cherry tomatoes in Thailand have a different flavor.
16:48They are absolutely divine.
16:52They are very rich.
17:02Wow my travelers, look at that spectacular sunset.
17:06Cotado is famous for its incredible sunsets.
17:10So I came to this little beach and I'm surprised because in the afternoon the sea gradually
17:15It's being gathered up, gathered up.
17:17And look how this little boat ended up here.
17:20In the middle of nowhere, it lacks water.
17:23The whole sea is over there.
17:26What a beautiful landscape.
17:27And also the amazing vibe there is.
17:31Look at the number of travelers in cafes, in some pubs.
17:35I'm tempted like a daisy, waiting for that sun to finish setting.
17:40The day cleared up completely and it's stunning.
17:44I'm sure that when that sun finishes setting it will paint the sky orange.
17:56My travelers, this day begins very early.
17:59It's 5:30 in the morning and I'm leaving the diving school.
18:03It's called DPM Diving.
18:05It's super early, I'm going to look sleepy.
18:07We're going to the port and watching the sunrise from the boat.
18:10So come with me.
18:19We are now reaching the first point where we will immerse ourselves.
18:23They already gave us some classes to show us how everything works.
18:27And look, the first immersion point is going to be right here where we came yesterday in Kunayuan.
18:33A truly beautiful place.
18:35The sun has not yet finished rising.
18:37We're almost there, so let's get all the equipment ready to begin.
18:43I'm almost, almost ready.
18:45I have my uniform, my panties.
18:48My gas cylinder is over here.
18:50I've already had the whole class, all the theory, and now we're going to practice.
18:55I jumped into the water and in a matter of seconds this beautiful turtle welcomed me.
19:00There it was, so calm, so peaceful, that for a moment everything stops, saying that the world stands still.
19:08I begin to descend and the only thing I can focus on is my breathing and enjoying this moment
19:14only.
19:15At a depth of 12 meters, everything becomes more magical.
19:18The corals are simply incredible.
19:21Shapes and colors live in every corner.
19:24Fish of all sizes swim around me, and some, like this one, seem unreal.
19:30And that's where I understand why Cotao is so famous for its diving.
19:38We just did our first dive and wow! How incredible!
19:43We spent approximately one hour and fifteen minutes underwater.
19:48For me, it's wonderful to have the opportunity to feel like a little mermaid.
19:53Don't worry, I'm running out of breath.
19:56Instead, simply enjoy the moment, concentrate on the breathing, inhaling, exhaling gently, without despairing, but maintaining peace.
20:06On this first dive we reached about six meters and I'm super happy.
20:13It must be all horrible, all melted, but oh well, it's part of diving.
20:20My instructor has been amazing, he has explained every moment.
20:23The first fifteen minutes were spent underwater practicing what they had already explained.
20:29For example, removing the mask, rinsing it, what to do if you lose it, looking for it, getting rid of that thing that gives you
20:36oxygen and put it back in.
20:38But it was very good.
20:39Now we are sailing towards the second dive site.
21:05The number of fish we've seen has been incredible, the corals are super vibrant, with so many colors, absolutely beautiful.
21:14I hope you're listening, my fellow travelers, because it's really windy here.
21:19We're already on our way back and the experience has truly been wonderful.
21:24We even came across a little turtle as soon as we started diving, as soon as we began our first dive.
21:32And I feel like it's been a 10 out of 10 experience.
21:34And for good reason, it's among the most beautiful places to snorkel; it was like a fishbowl.
21:40I didn't know where to look, there were so many fish.
21:44I really loved it and I just hope that everything could be seen in the videos.
21:49because I saw that part of the camera lens fogged up completely.
21:52But I hope you enjoyed yourselves with me, my fellow travelers.
21:55And if you haven't liked this video yet, well, now's the time to do it and let's...
21:59subscribe.
22:00After exploring this island, I understood why so many travelers fall in love with this place.
22:05Kotao is not just a diving destination, it's a perfect blend of nature, tranquility, and moments that simply cannot be missed.
22:13They are forgotten.
22:13From its beaches to what lies hidden underwater, everything here has something special.
22:18And although I arrived with high expectations, the truth is that this place completely exceeded them.
22:24If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment.
22:28See you in the next Traveling with Vero video.
