Hi, So I wasn't as lucky as AK and Colin. I was 3 hours late to change my flight from Krabi-Bangkok (45 vs 48 hours) so I had to make my way from Ko Samui to Surat Thani on a boat. On Ko Samui we stayed in a little north east corner of beach. It was so serene. Last night Mark, Krystal and I had a romantic dinner on the beach.. sand btw our toes and waves lapping next to us. Mark's shark was soooo good!! My crab was tasty but too much effort after a couple glasses of white wine. [View Full Entry]

18.5. Heute morgen habe ich meine 2 letzten Tauchgaenge gemacht. Beide Male war ich mit 3 DMT's unterwegs und ich habe die Gruppe mehrheitlich gefuehrt. Beide Tauchgaenge waren relativ gut, Sicht und auch was wir so gesehen haben (Kofferfisch, Rochen, Nacktschnecken etc.). Also ein ganz schoener Abschluss fuers Tauchen. Dann am Nachmittag habe ich mir ein Ticket fuer morgen nach Penang (Malaysia) besorgt, dies, da ich gehoert habe, dass die Busse in Malyasia viele Probleme haben, da die Strassen immer wieder ueberschwemmt seien. Und da ich morgen hier sowieso nur rumgehaengt waere bevor ich am [View Full Entry]

Jack, Dangerman and the Cosmic Ambassador went on a "visa run" You must do this every month unless you have previously arranged your visa with the consul , if you don't extend the visa you get fined when you leave Thailand which would be a pain in [View Full Entry]

Decided to back track on ourselves, and go see what Kuala Lumpur had to offer. This meant taking 2 overnight trains. So, we organised a bus that would pick us up. To take us across the ferry and then on to Surat Thani railway station. There, we would have to wait for over 8 hours before catching our first overnight train to Butterworth. At Butterworth we would have a 10 hour wait, till we picked up our next overnight train to Kuala Lumpur. We had it in our minds that we would spend the waiting periods at Surat Thani and [View Full Entry]

Its been a long time since we did a blog, so we've got a bit of catching up to do! After a 7 hour bus journey from Bangkok to Chumphon we got an early morning boat to the scuba diving Mecca, Ko Tao. Our reason for going there was to do the 4 day PADI Open Water Dive Course, which qualifies you to dive to a depth 18 metres anywhere around the world. We did our course with Crystal Dive Resort and they were really great, all the people were nice and we had a cool group of people to dive [View Full Entry]

Well I’m sat on the bus writing this (obviously typed onto blog since). This has got to be the longest bus journey ever. It’s currently 12.45am and the bus set off around 7.30pm and I don’t think we are even half way yet! Got on the bus and thought I’ll just chill and listen to some music, but no ipod is flat, it must’ve been switched on in my bag, as I only charged this morning…That will teach me to lock it in future. Then thought ok I’ll read my book, but no the light above me doesn’t work. Thank god [View Full Entry]
