You should have heard the sigh of relief I had when we came back to Bangkok - I was so happy to be back in the land of fruit shakes and nice people. But Bangkok is not my favorite place here, and there is much more fun to be done in the islands..
Abbey decided to be brave and get certified in scuba diving. So we found ourselves heading to the island of Kho Tao to do some dives, enjoy the beaches and meet some funny Norwegians. We stayed in a nice resort by the beach, that also has a swimming pool where the divers can practice their skills, and I could get my eyes burnt from an over dose of Chlorine. Great! We had a basic fan room with a cold shower and we got a reminder that Thailand is more expensive than Vietnam. Oh well.. they have better fruit shakes, and of course the legendary 7-11.
So as you might figured out there were a bunch of Norwegians over there. We had plenty of fun with them and after they told us that they saw a whale shark in their dives I decided to also jump into the (hot) water and go for a fun dive. Never in my life I felt so sick as this cursed day. The boat was rocking from side to side and I was feeding the fish with the breakfast I hadn't had. At least the dive was OK (obviously no whale sharks.. but we saw a reef shark).
