When internet hasn't been on hand, I have been keeping a log in my journal at night. For this reason this post a little out of order and should chronologically come before the scuba diving on Ko Tao.
After staying with Tawee and his family again lastnight, I rose early in the morning (5:15am) to pack and eat breakfast as some dutch tourists I met in Kao Sok National Park had booked a minivan and highspeed catamaran, to take them to Ko Tao, and we agreed that I would travel with them.
Ko Tao is supposed to be the diving mecca of Thailand and is the cheapest place in the world (apparently) to get PADI certified. They certify more divers here than any other place on earth. I am reluctant to commit the time myself to get certified as I am felling the need to press on to China, but the experience promises to be amazing so I think it will be worth hanging around to do the training. The water is salty here (being the ocean) which makes the whole place feel quite different from Khao Sok National Park. Here you can feel the salt in the air.
The Journey
Shuttle bus left 6:00am from Khao Sok National Park
Ferry left about 10:00am from the terminal.
Ferry arrived about 3:30pm in Ko Tao (there were some delays)
