We ventured back to our base home of Bangkok for a few days stopover before we headed south to the islands and onwards to Malaysia. Again we didn't have much planned for Bangkok except shopping and a list of errands but we do have a few things to report on...

Back in 2008 we took 21 months off work, rented out the house, found a foster home for Stuart (cat!) and ventured out to the big wide world. We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days! After our return we fell into the routine of life back in the UK but have always planned to get back out there as soon as we could.

Coral Grand Divers Resort
Hi Lou We stayed at the Coral Grand resort which is the far end of Sairee Beach and yes it was lovely! It's a little walk from the Bars and restaurants (most do BBQ's at night) so there are ones more in the middle.. just take a walk down the little path behind the beach and take your pick as most of them are really nice. Shopping there isn't so great so I'd save that for Bangkok if you want to get things.. it's mostly snorkels and sarongs in Koh Tao! Have a fabulous time it is a lovely island.
