During the high season
It is commonly believed that beach travel during the high season offers the most picturesque experiences of the year. However, I discovered this may not always be accurate. Despite it being December, the waves were still large and the water clear, but not at its peak clarity. Nonetheless, traveling at any time can offer new experiences, as it did for me. This was my first encounter with flying foxes or bats on the island. They were hanging from trees near the restaurant on the beach, and there were many of them, all quite large. Due to the cold weather, they chose to sleep on the beach instead of in caves, which was unexpected but pleasant to observe.
My first hike to the viewpoint
Additionally, this trip marked my first hike to the viewpoint on koh 8. The view from the top was stunning. I now understand why hiking to the viewpoint is prohibited on rainy days; the natural rock pathways become slippery and dangerous without safety nets or ropes. My experience emphasized the importance of visiting during suitable weather for a safe and enjoyable exploration.
