Phuket, Patong Beach! Now in Patong Beach until we leave for Singapore next week. Had a good explore, wasn't hard to find the lady boys, and everyones up for 'ping pong'! Seems a magnet for Aussies here. Bangla Road is where its at for sights, sounds, and pretty much anything in between (nudge nudge wink wink). Hopefully booking a visit to an elephant sanctuary, home to rescued / retired working elephants. A visit to Phuket centre is also on the cards, mayb...

Khao Sok National Park, To Railay. Gutted to leave Khao Sok, loved it there. Mental mini-van drivers seem to be the norm...

Smooth Catamaran ride from Koh Tao to Samui. This is a few days beach bumming (aint we done that?). Staying in Bophut, walking distance to the old Fishermans Village.

Lovely soft sand, good food, even have a Hard Rock Cafe, mich hit the pina colada's. Refrained from the jet ski's ...

Week gone by in Koh Tao. Weve had a great week, exploring part of the island, and seas around it. Mich has had daily Yoga classes, whilst i've been learning to dive. Hopefully visiting a small island / beach off Koh Tao tomorrow, pics to follow. Diving ended on a high, a night dive, followed by early morning dives with whale sharks....now certified to dive to 30m, love it! Koh Samui is next , 2 islands south of here. We'll update soon.
