May 17 - 23 Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand
We boarded an overnight bus to Koh Phangan, which is an island located off the East coast. Koh Phangan is known for more than just beautiful scenery, but one of the largest beach parties in SE Asia, which is called the Full Moon Party.

May 23 - 28 Koh Tao, Thailand
After an insane seven nights in Koh Phangan, we boarded a water ferry to the more low key island Koh Tao. Koh Tao is known for scuba diving. Since I was the only one that wasn’t a Certified Open Water Diver, we chose to stay at Ban’s Dive Resort for free for 4 nights as I earned my diving certification. Apparently, Ban’s certifies more than 9,500 people per year, which is the most for any Dive Resort in the world. I am now officially a certified Open Water Scuba Diver. I participated in 4 open water dives, and the fourth and final dive of the certification, we dove to the max depth for a recreational open water diver of 18 meters. I had one of the most memorable four days exploring the colorful reefs of the Gulf of Thailand. I saw so many different types of fish, and we even found Nemo (Clown Fish), but unfortunately we did not get to dive with the Whale Shark.

We arrived on the island of Koh Lanta after a marathon travel day starting in Singapore through Malaysia. Koh Lanta is located on the western coast of Thailand. We stayed a great resort situated right on the beach, but unfortunately it was currently the low season. Since it rained the two days we were there, we took advantage of the cable tv and wireless internet. We packed up our things and moved on to Koh Phi Phi, paradise island.

June 11-21 Koh Phi Phi, Thailand
After a very intense ferry ride from mainland Thailand, we arrived on the island of koh Phi Phi. The island of Koh Phi Phi is located on the western coast of Thailand. Koh Phi Phi is arguably the
