Long day! LEaving for Bangkkok in the afternoon. Packed everything up and checked out. Had some breakfast and changed my books over. Went down to ferry port and had some lunch. Ferry late as always. Pier looked like it was about to split in two, there are still things about Thailand that amaze me. Slept on the ferry. Had to wait nearly 3 hours in the middle of no where on the side of the road, in the dark for the bus to turn up, thank goodness I wasnt the ...

Spent the morning moving hostels which was all good fun. Really nice room with funky green ceiling lights that I cant work out how to turn off. Had a nap as didnt sleep well last night as it was so hot in my room. Had a wander around the part of the town that I am now staying in, backpacker part of town. Found an episode of House on TV. Did some washing. Beach. Finished book. Evening in bar next door. Asleep by 10.

Up early to go diving again. With a lovely DM and a better group than yesterday although there was another guy who had just startd his DM training who was a real sci-fi geek who really thought he knew it all. I had to ask Caroline if they teach you patience in your DM as she is stuck with him for the net 3 weeks. I couldn't teach him. Went back to White Rock as there were two drop off sights but we sort of missed the first one as we all got talking. Turns ou...

Up at 6 to get ready to go diving. In a really nice group but there was one girl that got on my t***, kept kicking me as well as the coral and made a big spectacle about how she had dived in the Red Sea and how rubbish this was compared to there. Kept myself amused the next dive by seeing how many times I could get away with kicking her back. Diving at White Rock and Chumpton Pinnacle which was great but visibility was poor due to all the rain from the last f...

Nice chilled out morning and it looks like the rain is holding off for today. Packed and had some museli. Nearly missed my shuttle as didn't read the time on the ticket correctly, ferry late as usual though so didn't matter too much. Crowded with people going to Phra Nang but thinned out when we dropped them off. Koh Tao seems lovely, resort right by the pier and on the beach with a pool and everything. Diving in the next few days which will be good. Had a ...
