Koh Tao: Watch Your Step!
This place is a death trap for toes. Loose planks project from decking and bungalow floors, pointing their lethal tips at your delicate pinky as you step over them. Treacherous mounds of concrete rise from the pavement, threatening to rip off your flip-flops and causing a painful stumble. Away from the roads, the landscape is strewn with boulders which make for great climbing but may have to be scaled by the drunk or inept in their way up to a view point. And on Koh Nangyuang the connecting beach has been covered by a string of blue plastic floats that wobble and grind against each other as people stumble over it, making them stagger as if they had too many ‘big Chang’. The gaps opening and closing between them are just wide enough to macerate your big toe if you don’t watch your step.
And then there are the sea urchins. Barely visible in the stirred sediment at less than an arm’s depth, they await the tender soles of your feet.
Booties are in order!
