One minute pancake

Walking by the little souvenir stalls along the street you catch that nice smell of pancakes. Although you're not hungry it's always time for a quick snack in Thailand. You follow the smell and soon enough you bumb into a small street cart. 

 A Thai lady has different kinds of fruit and condiments lay out in het cart while some kind of batter is baking on a hot plate. Soon she puts pieces of a banana on the roti and bakes it for a few more seconds. Then the grand finally arrives when she pours a chocolate dressing of the roti which is filled with warm banana. The best Thai street dessert!

Simple life resort Koh Tao

Location Almost opposite the 7-11 at the heart of Sairee beach you will find Simple life resort. It's a fairly large resort with good facilities.

Facilities The hotel has a large restaurant and bar located at the main street. From here you can enjoy your meal or drink while watching the business of the small island. A bit tucked away from the road is the reception area. I was welcomed with a big smile and checking only took a few minutes.

There is a large double bed, a desk with fridge and a large closet to tuck away your backpack and clothes. The closet had a safe to s...
