Today was the day to head to... The Islands!!!! We got on an 11 hour bus journey to Bangkok. When we got there we were so tired and looking forward to a night in Bangkok before catching another bus/boat to Koh Tao. However, when we got to Bangkok we realised the bus left at 6am the next morning or in half an hour!! So we decided to get on the bus/boat to Koh Tao that evening which was another 14 hours journey! When we arrived at Koh Tao we were so exhausted, we found a hostel to stay in and went straight to bed. We were looking forward to some chilled beach times ahead. When we got up, we headed to the showers. We shared shampoo, conditioner and bodywash.. So we had to pass it between the cubicles when we were done with it. The first time we did the swap was fine! But on the second swap, I opened the door forgetting where I was and a boy from our dorm walked straight in and caught me completely starkers. I felt it was necessary to apologise for my accidental nakedness when we returned to the dorm after witnessing the look of shock on his face. After that, I think it's fair to say we were friends. It's amazing how you become friends with some people in hostels!
We went out later for a good old' Thai curry. God I had missed them!! And then we headed down to the beach bars. We went to a bar where there was A fire show on the beach. This is where we had our first ever bucket! One bucket and you're all set up for the night! They're so strong!!! Later on we headed to a club on the beach called Fishbowl which played some awesome house music. We met the two Aussie boys from our dorm room (inc the one that saw me naked). They were crazy!! And some guy who looked like Johnny Depp when he played Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean and a guy who was over 7ft tall!
The next day we woke up and headed to the beach. We found this really cool beach bar called Maya Beach Club which looked like it should be in Marbella! They had massive daybeds right on the beach, a few metres away from the sea, which we laid on all day. It really felt like we were on holiday.
The sea was stunningly clear. I was so gutted I couldn't go in the water cause of my leg!
That night we went out to the same bar and ended up at the fishbowl nightclub with a couple of guys we met. This time there was a ring of fire on the beach which people were jumping through. I had already had a bucket at this point so i was pretty drunk and was considering jumping through the ring of fire. Then suddenly out of nowhere I got the urge to do it so I ran to the ring and did a dive forward roll through it. Unfortunately I forgot to do the forward roll after as I was concentrating so much on getting through the ring without getting burnt! I literally belly flopped on the beach and winded myself, but judging by the cheer I got afterwards it was pretty good! Plus I got a free shot for doing it. Well worth it!!
The next night we met a guy who had also jumped through the ring of fire but he had hit the ring as he went through and burnt his face!! So I was so glad I did it the night before otherwise I wouldn't of done it!
I loved Koh Tao and didn't want to leave! The beach was so quiet and peaceful during the day but it was so lively at night! It was a perfect combination.
