Dave 's BIG adventure!
The Full Moon Party brought Thaintro to an end! we all had a chat with Alan about our next steps! Thaintro's offered add on's a Puket/PhiPhi and a Chiang Mai one i decided to do both! it meant you were staying in decentaccommodation, and i was done with hostels! plus you got picked up and taken to all destination's! so it made it easy, plus you i could fill my days with more things, as i wasn't having to spend days looking for accommodation and theactivity do do!
I'd been told Koh Tao was a good place to go, very chilled out and relaxed! big on diving! this was the add on idecided not to do! Like in Australia, you just can't do it all! So after a couple of days i left Koh Pangan and left forKoh Tao! only problem was, every one had the same idea! SO we got on the boat as did the rest of the island! then when we got there it was madness every one almost fighting to get accommodation! my group had all decided to go toKoa Tao as well! The boat was so busy you just sat or stood where you could! on the boat you see people advertising there hotels! and sadly some of the girls on the group, got sucked in! and agreed for us to all to go to his hotel! sadly they forgot about the saying "if it sounds to good to be true!" then it probable isn't! and we got taken to this building site, and to be fair it did have sea views it just needed to be built! and i'm sure in 18 months time it will bevery good! but we were there now! so for me it was time to leave the group! i'd traveled on my own for 6 months doing what i wanted, and i couldn't have people making bad decisions for me! i had to spend one more night with the group! as options were limited! due to us wasting time with the not built hotel! but the following morning i moved out and got my own hotel room! (with every thing you would expect from a hotel room!) for 4 pound more a night, than the 8 bed dorms sheard bathrooms no tv or fridge! hostel the group were staying in! now i could relax and start enjoying Koh Tao! i did how ever later read in my travel book! Don't go to Koh Tao just after the Full Moon as the world and is wife want to go! but i still saw my group during to day plus the other group from the week before!

Gillian Hi!! From reading your blog I see you did the two Add on trips after Thaintro that I want to do! Just wondering if you could give me some more information like how you get from Koh Phangan to Chiang Mai and then to Phi Phi/Phuket? And do you have any idea how you get back to Bangkok after Phuket? Not sure when to book my return flight home for! Thanks in advance! Gillian
