Same again today: big breakfast, feed the stinky chickens and crack on with some gardening. But this time I almost wrecked a whole vegetable patch by digging a hole through a water pipe that burst and flooded the area. Whoopsy! Luckily the Thai boys found it funny and helped me fix it plus it gave everyone else a 4hour lunch break. My dad would of been proud... My heavy hand strikes again!

Today we got stuck into some volunteer work which started with cutting some bamboo trees an soaring them into 2meter pieces. The French fella natan guided me through it then we hacked the forest down until we had enough. Some mild gardening was done after that which had me sweating half my body weight.

Some Thai guy convinced me to get on the back of his scooter so he took me to the bus station. no1 there knew En...

Me and James had a taxi boat booked for 10:00 to head to koh naang yuan. Its a small island north of ko tao. It was quite a funny start when the boat driver put us in a canoe and pushed us 200yards out in sea and told us to row to his tail boat and come back for him. Canoes tip easily so we had a few close calls. We got there and soaked up some sun until boredom kicked in. The island was beautiful so we snorkelled and explored/climbed the mountains around it.
