We came down to here after spending a night in a place called Khao Lak. Khao Lak about is half way down the coast inbetween Ranong and Phuket and is the best access point to the Similan Islands, which are amoung the top 10 dive destinations in the world. We knew upon arriving that Laura was feeling congested (which is bad for diving), but as we were passing through to get to Krabi we thought we might as well stop off and see if it cleared up so we could go di...

Our favourite island so far!!! We loved it as soon as we arrived here (despite the hangover after the FMP!). Koh Tao is the dive hub of Thailand and one of the cheapest places in the world to do your PADI Scuba course, so that's the main reason we're here.
