Wed Early breakfast and after much confusion as to what bus we were to get on, we set off for Koh Chang. After the 6 hour bus ride, we stopped of for a bite to eat, witnessed a poor guy throw a wobbly, cause his bags had been lost along the way, then boarded a teeny boat with millions of people in it, to take us to the island.

Continued straight onto a bus, which after 8 hours or so, arrived in Khao San Road, Bangkok. We were oober lucky to come across a really cheap hotel with air-con and tv. Only down point was that the beds were so rigid that it was like sleeping on bricks and the walls we...

Up MEGA early since I had a booked a couple of dives with Georgie. There was news that there had been 5m long black tips spotted a certain dive site recently so I got that particular one booked. Got picked up by long tail boat, then onto a big diver's boat to head to the pinnacle, where we were diving. Unfortunately the visibility was really poor since the full moon had just past, so the tides were rough, causing murkiness in the water. Still managed to see so...
