Last Saturday night we decided to treat ourselves to a night out before we left Koh Tao. What was meant to be a nice meal and a few drinks, turned out to be a 2o'clocker and we got stuck into the vodka redbulls. During the evening, we had agreed to leave for Koh Phangan the next day, after over hearing that most people had the same idea as us, to go to the full moon party the following week. I got the idea into my head that there was a 10.45am boat, so we rushed ...

Another week has passed and after finishing the Padi open water wendy and i spent a few days just checking out a bit more of the island. We took a walk across the other side of the island to a litlle bay called Hin Wok bay. It was a 40 minute walk from sea level to just over 300 metres and back down to sea level on the other side (the island is only 3km by 7km). As it wasnt the easiest place to get to with a 45degree incline/declin in places there was no one else...

The second day of the dive course started with a couple more instructional videos then the test which Wendy and i both passed with no problems then off to the dive room to get our kit together and a break for lunch. After lunch we hopped on a longtail boat from the beach to take us to the dive boat which was moored offshore. A nice 15 minute cruise across the bay to a dive site called 'The Twins' a shallow dive down to a max of 12 meters. Before we could dive we ...

We arrived in Koh Tao yesterday after a really early morning, but lovely calm boat trip. Our room is basic, but slightly better than the last one (no gaps between the roof and floor), although we only have a cold shower, which is a bit more of a wake up call than we need, but none the less also quite refreshing! We chilled out and settled in when we arrived yesterday morning and just went for a little walk down the beach to scope out the bars for later in the we...

We arrived in Koh Phangan expecting the same amount of people as we saw at the fullmoon party and maybe it was something we said, but there weren't! We got one of the bungalows at Yoghurt Home 3, which the people we met at the full moon party had. Nice and budget (about 10 per night) with just a fan and bathroom. I had some little friends in the shower with me, and tried not to be a girl and either flushed them or pretended they weren't there by singing one of my...
