We got off the boat at the pier on Koh Tao to an onslaught of hawkers and diving 'touts' selling taxi-rides and diving packages. Since we'd nothing booked accomodation-wise, we decided to have a chat with one of the diving touts and for 9300 baht, Jimmy signed up for his PADI license and we got ourselves a bungalow with cable tv for 4 nights. Nice deal. We'd no lecky from 2-4pm each day which wasn't a problem, but the water was only on from 6.30am til 9am, and then not again until the evening at 5pm. Took a bit of getting used to. Koh Tao was defo the most chilled place we've been to to-date. We stayed in the Old Town for our 8 days on Koh Tao cos the rooms were way cheaper than Sairee Beach, where all the nightlife was. .................. Jimmy's PADI course was 4 days in all, and the advanced was another 2 days on top. We'd 8 days in total on Koh Tao.
