I spent 2 weeks on the northern shore of Koh Tao in Thailand, around 20 years ago.
It was as close to an island paradise as I could imagine.
There were a few bungalows and a bar under palm trees, directly at a perfectly white sandy beach, surrounded by rainforest.
The sea was clear azure, with a reef you could snorkel in.
It's impossible to describe the beauty and serenity of the place.
We were the only guests. The next houses one bay over didn't have electricity yet.
One night we didn't finish our hike in time and almost got stuck in the forest in the evening, because it got so dark you literally couldn't see the ground anymore.
To get there you had to take three boat rides, then ride over unpaved roads on the back of a pickup truck for one hour.
Just checked the place out on Google Maps. It's now entirely built up with hotels.
Tragic ending.
