Had a bit of a lie in this morning before setting off on our trip to 'The Beach'- it's the photo above, but in the movie the gap is blocked off. On the way there we had a quick stop off at monkey bay which has been claimed by loads of monkeys which come down and greet the visitors, we obviously were fortunate enough to see no monkeys whatsoever! We had an hours snorkelling which was great before going to Maya Bay - the location of 'The Beach' film. When gett...

Up nice and early for our dive! Casper the friendly Danish diving instructor took us out. Our first dive was was our 'deep dive' which took us to 30 metres, we did this because its our first step to becoming an advanced diver, and it will allow us to dive to 30 metres from now on when we go dving. Some people suffer from the extra nitrogen in your blood at that depth, it makes you feel woozy and similar to being drunk , but it didn't seem to effect us too much,...

Half an hour later he ret...

It's outside a private resort that costs up to 2000quid per night!! We considered spending a very luxurious there and then coming home next week instead of next year but they idn't have any rooms with a 'sea view' left so we decided against it!E...

We were met at the pier by a girl who we followed to a small travel agent where we got a coffee and sat in the middle of the road on plastic chairs waiting for our lift to the harbour. About an hour later we and another girl were randomly picked from the group and taken in a private car to another travel agents on the other side of town. We waited another 30 minutes before being put on a bus which took us on the 3 hour journey across to Krabi's harbour on the E...
