My Trip Around The World 2014 Compilation Videos: Koh Tao, Thailand

---

Hey everyone!

In 2014 I traveled around the world with my girlfriend.

We visited 7 countries in total: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Fiji, USA and Canada.

A while ago when I didn't have many followers here on steemit, I posted lots of photos of our trip.

Now it's time for the videos (the video is further down the page).

I hope you appreciate it, this is especially made for you fellow travelers here on steemit!

Shark island, popular snorkeling spot in Koh Tao

Koh Tao Island, Thailand:

-Also known as "Turtle Island" is an island in Thailand and is part of the Chumphon Archipelago on the western shore of the Gulf of Thailand.

-As of 2006 its official population was 1,382.

-Koh Tao is one of Thailand's most popular tourist spots.

-The island is well known for scuba diving and snorkeling, as well as hiking, rock climbing, and bouldering.

-The economy of the island is almost exclusively centred on tourism, especially scuba diving.

-The island is an important breeding ground for hawksbill and green turtles. Unfortunately, the development of tourism has negatively impacted the health of these grounds.

-Another concern is the waste. About 42,000 tonnes of solid waste are produced annually on the island, resulting in a 45,000 tonne garbage mountain.

I personally think it's a very beautiful island, definitely worth the visit. I just hope that they'll find a solution for the waste and environment problems.
