koh tan - also called 'island of no dogs', interesting saga behind it.

it says that no dog can survive on this island ...... i heard that even a thai tv team went there for research about that and the dog they brought over to the island and took back to samui with them the same day, died after some days.

there are many theories on what could be the reason though, one is that there are so many bats, the dogs can't stand their high frequency sounds or that there is some virus which kills them.

someone who goes there regularly for daytrips also told me that you cannot talk too loud on that island at night, if you do so you will end up barking and howling like a dog for the rest of the night

anyone knows more?

According to my GF the Island is also afflicted with ghosts / spirits that she has seen at night.

Most frightening for a girl from a rural village in Isaan where the belief in these occurences is very profound.

The food was verry good,good prices and good for snorkling, no road but can walk around the island, go fishing and after eat your work ;-)
