Still in Koh Tao, Thailand, SE Asia

Doh!! It would seem the beach bum just couldn't manage to leave the island... so for me Koh Pha Ngan will just have to wait for the next time. The idea rattled around in my head for days, and finally I came to the conclusion that Koh Tao had everything I needed:

• A beach
• The sea
• Excellent diving
• I've made fun friends
• Had some crazy nights out
• Had some chilled out nights
• Yummy food

So why move? PLUS if I moved onto a new island, I would never have been persuaded to do a day trip to Sail Rock, one of the best dive sites on the Gulf of Thailand, and I would never have seen a WHALE SHARK!!!! Which in my book, will probably be listed as one of the most amazing things I have seen in my 9 months travelling.

Sadly though, it goodbye Koh Tao, and thanks to all the lovely people I've met and chilled out with, Big Blue Dive Resort (sorry for calling it 'Deep Blue' for the past 3 weeks!) and Crystal Dive Resort - I've had a wicked time. I hope Malaysia will bring on the same!
