Fire Dancers

Well finally putting this up. BTW I'm home now!

Full Moon and beyond

well that was all good fun. Unfortunately I only lasted until 5 am.
saw all the crazy people on the beach. I was most impressed with the
fire dancers . I will load the video when I get home. afterwards I
managed to sleep until 3 in the afternoon so I didn't go to ko tao,
but booked more diving. diving was very cool as per usual. then the
following day was 12 hour bus and ferry journey followed by 12 hours
at the airport, which is where I am now, to be followed by a 12 hour
flight joy of joys. anyway time to go. see you soon.

Ko Phangan

Well I'm on another Island now. Am staying in Hat Rin and the full moon party is tomorrow - so lots of rest today in preparation for that. Might go diving (again) (for the last time in Ko Tao) (again) Before heading back to Bangkok. The beaches are gorgeous, as are the many sights ;-) Temperature is somewhere between hot and damn hot. All in all, it's ok I suppose...

Ko Sumui

Well have been diving some more and loving it, but bad news is that both my SD cards are shagged so if anyone can get me the boot.exe of a 2gb SD card then I'd appreciate it as I can't quickly find one and it means no more pictures :-(

Am currently thinking that I will come home sooner and not go to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos as need to get some pesos coming in as I think that I have spent a little too much!

Plus it means that I will be able to go running more and see my bike :-)

Its hot and Palm tree like here am currently staying in a beach bungalow and is all very ver' nice.

Will find out about moving my air ticket tomorrow and let you know.

Diving off Phuket

Well I'm certainly loving the diving. Went on another day trip today to a 87m wreck and also to Shark point, and another site. Saw 2 sharks today woooooooooooooooooo!!!!! and I got well close to them - about a couple of feet from these big ol' Leopard sharks. I was gonna try and upload a video, but its a .mov file and I have no easy way of converting out here - so that will have to wait till I'm home. Tomorrow is do nothing day and spend no money. :-) Diving is well cheap here, but still expensive darn it. Although we were 9 people on a massive boat today which was good and we got free breakfast and lunch thrown in and I stole enough to have my dinner too.

Phuket

Well Phuket or Patong Beach, which is actually where I am staying is much nicer than Bangkok. I went diving yesterday on a day trip and decided to extend the trip and stayed the night and did more dives today. Was pretty darn cool and I want to do more diving. I saw loads of fish and quite a few octopuses and a turtle - check out the turtle man! And little Nemo. Only saw one shark and he was pretty far away so boo hiss. Want to see some sharks and definitely a manta ray. Will have to keep on looking. I have another few days here and then I am off to Ko somui where I will probably do some.......diving!!!

Thailand

Well not much to report really. Its bloody hot, there are loads anad loads of people around or so it would seem and lots of traffic jams. I hope the rest of Thailand is better as Bangkok seems pretty crappy really. It's just full of people trying to rip you off. Well every single one that I have met is trying to anyway. I'm heading South (14 hour bus trip) urrgghhhhh. Down to the islands and to Phuket to do some diving so I hope that that should be better anyway.

 

I'm not sure how all these people make a living as there just seem to be loads of people hanging about. I guess that they just scrounge and rip of the tourists?
