Koh Tao and Bangkok
The craziness of the full moon had taken its toll on me and my mate Will. So we decided after a couple of days to go to Koh Tao to chill out. When we arrived we couldn't believe our eyes. The hostel was literally right on a 'postcard beach' the sea was literally like walking into a bath. The hostel also had a dive school in it. And after a clever bit of chatter from one of the dive shop blokes, I decided to do my PADI over the next 3 and a half days. It was a great experience and I'm told Koh Tao is one of the leading places in the world to dive. And cheap as chips.
We then got the ferry and a 12 hour bus to Bangkok. What a weird place that is. Met up with Bib and Nat again and went up the sky tower (the Hangover 2 one) in the evening for sunset. A very civilised start to a weird few days. The less said the better I think. Khao San road. Is a crazy place. Full of carts selling fried scorpions and tarantulas. And hundreds of blokes trying to sell you suits and trying to shake your hand. After 4 days this can get very old very fast.
I should probably add at this point that due to me using my iPad to do these blogs, I can't use my own photos. All these are from the STA library.
