Hi Adel! I’m so sorry, but there aren’t really super specific or detailed maps of any of the hiking trails on the island, that’s why I’ve tried to be descriptive here! You can pick up some small booklets on the island that have maps in them — you might find those a helpful supplement to these posts! Best of luck!

I will try walking on Koh Tao island soon I would like guidance from you and if there are maps I will be grateful ..!!

And thank you

I’m planning on doing more hiking guides for Koh Tao soon, Ruth — I agree, it’s super hard to find information on!

Hi Arnd! Thank you for the warning for your fellow travelers! I’m so sorry to hear you got attacked, though I’m not surprised that the police were uninterested 🙂 There are a lot of very unfriendly dogs here on Koh Tao!

thank’s a lot for your guide to fragile rock! The “map” looked a bit naive, but it is simply perfect! I am a trail runner and I was up on the rock in short time. I decided to find out where the left path is going to: “There’s really only one place you can take a wrong turn (marked on the map by despair, uncertainty, etc.).” It is a nice path at the beginning with a bad surprise waiting for you after some hundred meters: you pass a small hut on the left and then the path is leading directly to a second hut. At this hut two attacking dogs waited for me…no person was around. And yes..after noticing me, they directly attacked me. They jumped on me and bitten me hard. After a short fight with the dogs I was able to disappear with five bleeding wounds…two of them were serious. I went directly to the doctor, who cleaned my wounds, made some stitchings and gave me an injection. Later I told the police what happened to me. To my surprise they just smiled and when I wanted to show them the place on the map, they where not interested. So: it is really “a wrong turn”! 😉 Don’t follow this path!

I got Sadie on loan from a friend 🙂 The animal clinic here doesn’t usually have many dogs living there, they prefer to treat them but keep them on the beaches and whatnot where they are happier than they’d be in a cage (obviously a home with a loving human would be the best choice!)

Did you get Sadie on loan from the animal shelter here? Oli and I are obsessed with dog walking (all the fun, less of the responsibility!)

I made my girl Anna PRETTY NERVOUS doing that one… but methinks it was worth it 🙂
