All the Koh's

Our waterproof camera's now coming into it's own, thanks Jane and Martin for that, the pictures which will hopefully be on the blog (by blind luck if nothing else) are really clear, we've got over 1500 pictures so far, so all of you lucky people schedule a week or so off so we can bore you ridged with them, and with our stories of the seven sea's (well 4 oceans, 3 sea's and a few rivers).

We've spent the last 3 weeks being extremley lazy, we can now understand why so many travellers spend so long in Thailand, you take things slowly but time seems to speed up!? After the full moon we spent a week recovering (with a bit more partying mixed in) on Ko Phangan, the island was great, we met a lot of really cool people to but the beach for a few days after the party was a bit messy, they do a lot more than the Indians about rubbish (to be fair thats not hard)but with that many people dropping litter its inevitable that things will be a little dirty straight after, it's amazing that the water has stayed so clear, although maybe that wont always be the case.

We then went to Ko Samui, a larger more deleveloped island with its own airport. It was nice as we had a room with satalite t.v (we watched the F.A cup semi's, only because Tan kept on and on about them) ate a few burger kings, shopped at tesco's so it was kind of like being at home which isn't really what we're after although after roughing it for the most part so far it was nice to have some home comforts. There were also lots of old fat white men with their newly found Ting-tong (Thai bride) which was pretty horrible. We did take out a scooter to see the island and i'm pleased to report my driving has improved since I last owned a chicken-chaser no bumps or crashes, not even that many near-misses, although we're not going to tempt fate, we'll keep the scooter riding to a bare minimum.

From Samui we went to the smallest island we've visited so far, Koh Tao. It was beatifull, unspoilt, quiet beaches, great beach bars and huts to stay in and the clearest water either of us have seen so far, its where the pic above was taken. We wished we had longer there but our visa's we're about to run out so we had to head back to Bangkok then onto Cambodia (Angkor Wat) to get a renewal. More updates then. We'll leave another pic at the bottom of a sunset on the last night on Koh Toa, its me (Ant) on the rock.
