That very island of Bounty
First of all, we are interested in the location of advertisingcoconut bar - and they are called Ko-Samet, and for amateurs in Thai designations - Bounty Island in Thailand. This is how the tourists refer to the destination, expressing the desire to go there. Located islet not far from Pattaya and Bangkok, so that upon arrival in these competing cities for the title of capital, you will be taken to the island on an ordinary boat.
But the adventures of Robinson Crusoe will not be: enterprising agents and local businessmen equipped the island, building the lion's share of the coastal strip of hotels - there are about 20, half of them - five-star.
The climate of the Bounty Islandbathe in the ocean and sunbathe 300 days a year - on the rest of the days the monsoon is so strong that it provokes a storm. But the shallow shelf and transparent bottom attract couples with children in the hope of rebuilding their nest, preserving vivid feelings for life.
Bounty Island - a true place name
Speaking of Bounty (an island with a real name),mean waters south of Thailand, directly off the coast of New Zealand. In fact, Bounty is an archipelago that includes 13 islands, not counting a large number of rocks. It has its own highest point - the mountain rises as much as 90 meters above sea level. The entire Bounty area does not take more than 1.5 km, so it is uninhabitable for people. But the seals and albatrosses, and even surprisingly rare guests - penguins, the island of Bounti seduces. He deceives and deceives: as early as the beginning of the 20th century, the shooting of these animals was so widespread that it caused irreparable damage to the fauna of New Zealand.
Where did the archipelago take its name? Certainly not from the generosity of the gifts of nature: in 1788, the ship "Bounty" came upon him. As sailors became pioneers, it was decided to fix this name behind the island. Is there a fatal glory here? After just a couple of months after the opening, a mutiny broke out on the ship, and the captain and a team of like-minded men were launched into a boat and sent on a journey across the ocean.
Curious fact: the climate on the island is far from paradisial, the coldest time of the year here is the end of summer, August, the temperature can drop to zero. Nevertheless, thanks to the amazing landscape and animal life, today the Bounty Island is a UNESCO heritage.
