00:00You won't believe what you're about to see, I'm in paradise, look at this beauty!
00:05How do I cross from one side of the sea to the other in a matter of seconds, my travelers?
00:11I am in Thailand and I welcome you 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,
00:25Something that's not so common to see in the world, and the most impressive thing is that you can walk from
00:31one to the other in a matter of seconds,
00:34as if you were crossing between two oceans.
00:37I have reached the summit, my travelers, and from here the view is breathtaking.
00:42Here 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, and finally two hours sailing by 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 journey,
01:31I recommend that if you're prone to seasickness, you take a pill because that ship was going
01:36So.
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, I'm going to quickly unload my things at my hotel so we can go and enjoy ourselves.
01:51this 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 baht,
02:42That's about $6.50.
02:45There are too many places to rent, in fact, as you walk around I think that's what you'll see most.
02:51They are motorcycle rental companies.
02:53Now, one recommendation, and I want you to listen to this, is that you don't leave it anywhere,
02:58Neither here in Thailand nor anywhere else in the world will your passport be accepted.
03:02And here they require you to pay the 200 baht fee but leave your physical passport until then.
03:08that you hand over the motorcycle.
03:09And I've seen some cases on social media where passports get lost, so I'm going to give you
03:14This recommendation
03:16And you tell him, no look I'm not going to leave my passport, here's another identification document
03:20And 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 give it back to me.
03:27So, well, now drive carefully, that's for sure, because there are a lot of young people who might not be so...
03:33responsible,
03:33So, one there, nice and easy, and here you drive on the left side, what was my motorcycle?
03:38This one, put on my helmet, I don't think they're that strict about helmets here either.
03:43But it's better to have one for your own safety.
03:47Let's go see the motorized one in power, I feel bad.
03:58Wow! My travelers, look at this beauty, I present to you the longest and most famous beach in Cotao,
04:05It's called Saire Beach and it has me amazed.
04:09I took my motorbike and in about 5 minutes I was already on this beach, which I hadn't imagined would be so perfect.
04:15with the beautiful sand and uff, that water just touched my feet and it's warm.
04:22They say this is the best place for nighttime 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
04:40and is considered one of the best places in 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 application.
05:22You choose the country you're going to travel to, buy the plan, and 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,
05:34a 5GB plan, then you click on you have a coupon and right there you're going to write the
05:39VERO code
05:40and it will show you the 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.
05:46Internet,
05:47You'll be able to communicate with your hotel, request transportation, use the translator, and all this without paying roaming charges.
05:53absurd.
05:54Seili has global and regional plans, so if you're going to tour several countries like I did,
05:59You don't need to change the SIM card, just change the country from the app and you're done.
06:04If you're also traveling soon, you can get a 15% discount by using my code VERO right away.
06:10to pay.
06:11You know, it's very easy, just download the Seili app or go to their website seili.com.
06:18and 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
06:49here.
06:50So I walk along and see amazing landscapes.
06:53In 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.
07:16And 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...
07:57It's perfect and the beach has no pebbles, it's just sand.
08:01Even from up here you can see some little fish without even having to dive down.
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, in this time of year which is peak season, is appreciated.
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.
08:42Kotao is known for having a paradise island on this island.
08:47So 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 Conan Yuan, the paradise island that Kotao has.
09:10Oops, 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
09:21They gave me the camera or inflation.
09:22But that's still about 12 dollars.
09:34My God, what a beautiful place Conan Yuan is, it's only about 10 minutes away by boat.
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, Conan Yuan is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen in Thailand.
10:19It's impossible for you to come to Kotao and not come to this paradise that was only 10 minutes away.
10:25And look for yourselves at the whole landscape behind me, all those green mountains, the rocks, and also
10:33the 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 and left sides, making it look like a paradise.
10:47Conan Yuan 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 pass by the sides of the beach.
11:10There is my ship, my traveler, a paradise.
11:15I want you to comment from there how many points you give this beautiful little beach, because you haven't seen it all 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, I 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.
11:47So, this fell into the water.
11:49I've won a challenge of all the microphones I've drowned in beaches, pools, and rivers.
11:54And they're expensive, this alone costs over $150.
11:57I 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.
12:42But 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.
13:00The good thing is that I'm sheltered 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, but it was plastic and at the entrance
13:32They took it away from me because you can't bring anything to the island, no plastic at all.
13:36So here they sell it to you in a little glass bottle.
13:38And now I was making myself a skirt because I was too, too thirsty.
13:42Look here, now things get rougher, especially if you're wearing flip-flops like me.
13:48Because the stone path begins, look at that.
13:51Here we go, almost there.
14:04I can't believe it, I've reached the top my travelers and the view from here is amazing.
14:11I can tell you that this is my third time in Thailand.
14:14I've visited many beaches and spectacular islands, and I think this 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, so quick, photo for the
14:34social media and we went down.
14:42Wow! I sweated so much climbing until the viewpoint was totally worth it, but now it was.
14:49I've already taken all the photos I needed to take and now I want to jump into this water for a swim.
14:54Oh, how delicious!
14:55The water is warm and that's what I love about Thailand, the water is always like that.
15:00I don't think you'll ever arrive at any beach and find it cold, forcing you to go in.
15:04little by little.
15:05Here you can jump right in and the water is there, the perfect temperature.
15:10It's good that the sun finally came out because for a moment it was cloudy, a cloud was coming in and
15:15I started to get wet.
15:16But it didn't clear up again.
15:19I want to know what you think of this beautiful place, this crystal-clear water, and what you think of Thailand.
15:26It's one of those destinations you want to visit soon.
15:32The most beautiful moment of this video has arrived.
15:35We're going snorkeling.
15:36They say this one with the points is more amazing for seeing a lot of weights, so wish me luck.
15:42The rental mask here cost me approximately 5 and a half dollars, 200 baht.
15:46But they require you to provide your passport as a deposit.
15:50Hey lady, how can you give me 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 because I love salmon and I wanted
16:35eat plenty of protein.
16:37And it came to me like a little salmon.
16:39I don't think that will satisfy me, but at least it looks delicious.
16:43So enjoy your meal, my travelers.
16:45Cherry tomatoes in Thailand have a different flavor.
16:48They are absolutely divine.
16:51They are very rich.
17:01Wow my travelers, look at that spectacular sunset.
17:06Cotao 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, gathered.
17:17And look how this little boat ended up here.
17:20In the middle of nowhere, it lacks water.
17:23The whole sea has been over there.
17:26What a beautiful landscape.
17:27And also the amazing vibe there is.
17:30Look at the number of travelers in cafes, on beanbag chairs.
17:35It still tempts me 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.
18:18We 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.
18:34The 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.
18:50They already gave me the whole class, all the theory.
18:53And now let's get to the practical part.
18:55I jumped into the water and in a matter of seconds this beautiful turtle welcomed me.
19:01There it was, so calm, so peaceful, that for a moment everything stopped.
19:06And I feel like the world is standing 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.
19:29And that's where I understand why Cotao is so famous for its diving.
19:38We just did our first dive and wow!
19:42How incredible!
19:43We spent approximately one hour and fifteen minutes underwater.
19:47For me this is wonderful, having the chance to feel like a little mermaid, not worrying that I'm falling behind.
19:55breathless.
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 explained every single step.
20:23The first fifteen minutes were spent underwater, practicing what they had already explained.
20:28For 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.
20:37But 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 were so vibrant, so many colors, so 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.
21:31And I feel like it's been a 10 out of 10 experience.
21:34And for good reason, it's among the most beautiful places for snorkeling.
21:38That was like a fish tank.
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 your time 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...
21:58subscribe.
22:00After exploring this island, I understood why so many travelers fall in love with this place.
22:05Koh Tao is not just a diving destination.
22:07It's a perfect blend of nature, tranquility, and moments that you simply won't forget.
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.
22:29See you in the next Traveling with Vero video.
