I spent all day Xmas day on the island of Koh Tao, which is the smallest of the 3 islands off the coast of South East Thailand. The island is renowned for it's cheap diving certificates and diving spots. However, diving was the last thing on my mind. I had got back early Xmas day morning from Koh Phangan after celebrating Xmas Eve at the Full Moon Party, where i had drunk and danced all night to the morning.
