Cockroaches, Rats, Bats and Geckos

---

Well, I have just spent the past two weeks laying on the beaches of Ko Samui, Ko Phanang and now Ko Tao. I am loving every minute of it. A bit of a break before heading off for the stressful days in Cambodia, Malaysia and India. We spent six days on a wonderful beach in Ko Phanang called Thong Nai Pan Yoi. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the islands in Thailand. It was very quiet, relaxing but also quite fun. We met quite a few other woment travellers who kept us busy playing Jenga and drinking the local Whiskey! GROSS. Then we left for Bottle Beach. We lasted only one night because of the heading. The rats kept us up for most of the night, the bats kept dropping poop on us and the mice, well they just yelped in the morning. All in all, no sleep that night. We are now in beautiful Ko Tao- the divers paradise. I absolutely love it. The water is crystal clear, the beach is sandy, the accomodation is superb and the shopping is cheap! Great change from Ko Phanang. Steph and I are just waiting to go and get a pedicure done. I can't tell you how cheap it is over here. I wish I could get the Thai massages but they are just too painful. That is it for now. I promise to put up some pictures once I get back to Bangkok. Until then, you will just have to imagine how warm it is here compared to back home!!!! Heard it is pretty cold!!!

Thai Massage
The Thai massage isn't painful at all. I would definitely recommend the whole body massage, soothes away all that aches and soreness. You should really try it.
