Koh Tao 2 ...

....snorkelling . The staff were really great as Luke can't float they gave him two lifejackets to wear, but he was still unsure about going in the water but had seen Leigh and I having such a great time , he wanted to join. So the staff went out with him with a life ring to hold onto so he could view the fish.

Anyway he got super confident with their help and started to really enjoy it , so much so , that he came out with Leigh and I , really far out to view all the brighter fish who were hiding in the coral. Once we had done all the snorkelling, we were dropped off at Nang Yuang island for two hours where we eventually managed to climb upto the top to see the stunning view. Leigh and I really struggled and couldnt wait to get down and get a drink. We all went to the little bar on the other island where we got THEE best chocolate milshake ever !!

We then all returned back to our hotel and got ready to have an evening at the mini golf and leisure centre down theroad from us.We had seen it whilst walking the previous night , Luke wanted to watch the footy and Leigh and I wanted to play mini golf. We had the best time. Golf was 180 baht pp but yoy could play as many times as you liked but it look Leigh and I hours to get around onceand both our scores were pretty bad.

They did food too so we all had garlic breads and pizzas and sweet potato chips and two drinks each plus a cheesecake and brownie, 785 baht for Luke and I and it was really scrummy.

The next morning we went and got our ferry tickets from a shop on the front for 600 baht as the pier wanted 900. The boat didnt leave until 3 and took 1.50 mins so we got our picnic from 7-11 again even though the Koh tao one was more expensive than the Koh Samui or Bangkok. We just sat on the beach playing monopoly on the ipad until the boat arrived to take us to Koh Samui.

We arrived at Seatran pier which is between Big bhudda and Nathon , it's half way accross the island. So the van back to Nathon was only 50 bht each and we stayed at the old ladies again and as soon as we waljed in , the receptionist recognised us and gave us our same room at the same rate.

When it was time for dinner we went to the restaurant on the corner called the view. It was here that we tried shark , it tasted just like cod. We had pumpkin soup and penang curry. We then got a magnum from 7-11 and went to bed as we had to get the ferry at 8am to get back to Surat Thani.

We got our tickets from the pier next to Nathon , there are plenty of ticket touts waiting and all at 400 baht for the ferry and bus.

We had a great journey and recieved watwr and cookies on the plane again.
