Flag of Thailand  ,
Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Having eventually found the will, the drive and the resolve to leave our hotel room post Full Moon Party, we took the ferry to Koh Tao which is a lovely little island. We were here so Emma could get her Advanced Open Water Badge which as the name suggests is a bit more than the basic, Open Water course she completed on Phi Phi.

While the waters around Tao are not as good as Phi Phi there was still a great deal to see down there. As part of the course she also went on a night dive and a wreck dive.

As our time in Thailand is running out we didn't have the chance to see a lot of Koh Tao, and I hope that it remains a special little place so that we may come back here. Given the Thais' love of money, however, I fear it will go the way of Phi Phi and become over-developed which is a real shame. Get here while you can people!

Our next stop is Bangkok and rather strangely I'm looking foward to being back in a city again.  We have enjoyed ourselves immensely on the islands, but it is time for a change, albeit a smoggy, dirty, chaotic, polluted one. Should be fun.
