Snorkeling equipment can be hired at very reasonable rates and we suggest
catching a taxi-boat to the incomparable island of Koh Nangyuan. The
snorkeling conditions are excellent and make for a fantastic day out. Our
taxi-boats can also take you around the island of Koh Tao.
You may want to go by road and New Way provides reliable motorbikes.
This mode of transport allows you to go at your own pace and can be rented
on a daily or long term basis. The choice is yours. Mountain bikes are also
available and are rapidly becoming more popular due to environmental and
safety issues.
For those who have sturdier legs a jungle trek may be just the ticket. Our
experienced guide will take you on an eye opening tour into the depth of
the Koh Tao Jungle where you are sure to see some of Koh Tao's exotic
wildlife.
The national sport of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) can be viewed at the
nearby Sairee outdoor boxing arena, which hosts regular bouts. Almost
anything goes in this ancient sport which may seem brutal as most
knockouts are administrered by kicks to the head but an air of spiritualism is
evident throughout the pre-bout rituals as each fighter performs a dance
calling on the Spirits to look favorably upon him and give him strength
during the fight. This is the national sport of Thailand and is viewed the
same way that Europeans worship football, so it is worth checking out.
A perfect way of unwind at the end of the day is Thai massage. Available at
New Way, this age old method of relaxation and revitalization must be
experienced to be believed. You'll feel like a new person.
