KOTAO, THAILAND
Sairee Beach is known for its fre dancers, who use a poi - a chain with bundles of fery wicking material at either end - which they swing to create light patterns
After we had fnished our advanced diving course on the island of Ko Tao, my partner and I were walking from the pier area of the island to Sairee Beach. We stopped for a couple of cocktails at one of the many bars on the beach. Suddenly, three guys came out of nowhere and put on an amazing fre display for all of the people who were enjoying the sunset just like us.
