Ko Turatao - Thailand

Turatao – large island east of Ko Lipe is a National Park with no resorts. It rained most of the time. The beaches were, sadly, littered with human detritus – plastic, fishing nets styrene foam etc. We ventured ashore and clambered over slippery rocks and boulders for several kilometres to see a water fall. It is a beautiful island and is worth a longer visit when I head back to Langkawi. The boat was bobbing in the water like a cork when we got back to it. Several other boats that had been at anchor had departed. We decided to head to more sheltered anchorage for the night.
