I’ve lived on the island and done research your full of s*it its just like many americans who wouldn’t want their blogs destroyed now would you so you lie . How dare you say only two deaths have happened on this island when there has been more than 50 UNEXPLAINED DEATHS LET ALONE THE RAPES AND THE ridiculous explained
deaths a French man hung himself on his balcony a foot off the ground with his hands tied behind his back . A woman hung herself in the jungle in similar circumstances and was eaten by lizards the girl who was raped and had her face beaten in so badly you couldn’t tell who she was. She was from my village. The british police said who ever did it was so full of hate and anger and another persons head bashed in and the thai police said died of natural causes . So shame on you cor telling such huge lies

In reply to Svenja. Congrats, Svenja! This makes me so happy! I'm definitely excited to try this trail again now that I finally know where I am going, ha. Will be interesting to see how it changes!

Hi Alex,

thank you so much for your perfect description. We couldn’t wait to hike this secret trail and finally made it two days ago! The first part of The Trail was really steep so we actually hiked our hearts out, haha! But after arriving the jungle part it was easy to walk and find. And the end the family just build up a fence including barbwire but you can easily move through! In fact any part of the trail was in very good shape, we did the whole trail in wearing flipflops – only sometimes get wet feet of the grass! Hey, thank you so much!! Feels good that we made it – tooks us 1 hour and 15 min to the viewpoint caused by your perfect Description!!

Believe me… you wouldn’t have made it far enough to get lost! It is one of the worst roads on Koh Tao… and turns to jungle bushwacking not long after 🙂

Oh my God, I think we almost went up that way and decided not to when we saw how steep it was and we only had scooters! Think I am glad we didn’t now, if we had made it up the hill we would surely have got lost! Maybe next time.

This looks amazing!!! I’m all for getting off the beaten path, but I definitely appreciate knowing someone has paved the way on a trek like this.

Oh my gosh that’s INSANE! I would NEVER send someone on this hike without, well, basically printing out this post and handing it to them. I would literally estimate one out of every thousand people — or at least one out of every several hundred — reaches Mango Viewpoint this way. I’ve never seen another person on the trail and I only know two other people who have done it. Ha I can’t believe someone sent you that way with so little directions!

I’m giving him the benefit of doubt, since he was terribly confident about it. And his entire physical build and gear screamed “well trodden paths are for the weak – I take the road not taken”. In retrospect, probably not the best idea to get hiking advice from these people. Haha
