Hello again, we have covered a lot of ground since the last blog, so ill start where we left off. Saturday evening we went out on Khao San road to a few bars and found somewhere to watch the England Vs Wales match. The pub was full of welshmen and was a really good atmosphere, good fun despite the result. The next morning lloyd was feeling a bit worse for wear after eating some dubious meat on the way back. So while he monged out in the hostel i went for a bit of an explore around bangkok.
That afternoon we got on a 7hour bus to the south, arrived in the town of chumpon at midnight and managed to find a room for 2pounds. We booked a ferry to Ko Tao island in the morning which involved getting a taxi at 6am, so only got about 4hours sleep. As most of the bus journey had been in darkness the morning taxi ride was fantastic, away from the grime and smog of bangkok the land is dripping with vegetation. Deep rich green plants and trees are sprouting up from every avaliable square inch of land.
The ferry itself took three hours and we arrived in Ko Tao at 10am, and it is gorgeous, i feel like i am on the lost island, slightly more populated mind. Walking off the boat there were large shoals of small fish swimming in the crystal clear water, and a dip ion the sea is like taking a warm bath. We booked a scuba dive course which starts tomorrow morning so an early night is on the cards tonight. Ill try and put a load of pictures up soon too. I have been taking plenty.
Blog Soon
