Last stop, Koh Tao

Hey everyone,

We are just about to leave our hotel room in Chiang Mai and head off to the south east part of Thailand, Koh Tao in the Andaman sea. We have had a fantastic time golfing, shopping, eating and of course, playing with elephants here, and when we come back to Thailand in the future, I think we might just skip Bangkok and come back to Chiang Mai.

Now we are off on the last leg of our trip, one week on the island of Koh Tao. Initially, we had been considering Phi Phi or Phuket, which is on the south west side of Thailand, but there have been a few issues over there, including an early start to monsoon season, so we decided to come to the Andaman side. We have been in contact with a number of dive shops, and the rates to dive in Koh Tao are less than half as much to dive in Phi Phi, plus they have all been reporting a number of whale shark sightings, so cross your fingers for us and maybe we will get lucky and see one. I think it would be cool to say we have seen the worlds largest land animal AND the worlds largest fish in the same trip! Although, if a fish the size of a greyhound bus swims past me, I might have a little accident in my wetsuit...

Anyways, since we are going to be on a small island, I am unsure how good the internet connection will be, but we will be trying to post here and let you all know how things are going.

Chat soon,

Tim and Cat
