I'm trying to cut these down, cos im sure youre sick of reading on and flicking through hundreds of pics... SORRY! Can't believe how much has happened in 2 weeks! My Birthday wahoo! We flew out of Chiang Mai into Bangkok then south to Phuket. Its rainy season now so cant complain of weather is s*** but Phuket was on the whols, crap! Place was horrible, weather was horrible, good doing nothing for 2-3 days. Had an eventfull time getting to my hostel, which was interesting to say the least! Went to Patong (main place on Phuket) for my birthday night out. Got wrecked on free tequila i was winning against the barmaids at Connect 4 and some number game, they all play it! Vague memmories of doing chin ups out the back of a Tuk Tuk on the way home! Basically few days of shilling, was ok. Took the bus to Surat Thani to get the overnight boat to Ko Tao, however the weather was too bad to sail so we stayed for the night. Were worried we were being scammed but all worked out ok. Place was brilliant, had a great night at the local night market! 7hr CHOPPY boat the next day stopping in Ko Samui and Ko Pagn Nagn before reaching Ko Tao. Best place to dive so, checked in at a dive school. Basically last 4 days ihave been fantastic and ive just passed my PADI open water course. loved it so much think im gonna do the advanced course! Think ive got the bug, so u might not see me back in the UK! Got filmed today so tonight our group are getting hammered and watchin the film! Got attacked by 2 BIG trigger fish today, quite scary but awesome adrenalin kick! Anyway, suppose to be leaving tomoz but reckon im gonna do some more diving here, night dives etc! Island is gorgeous, weather has picked up, dont wanna leave!
