Ko Phangan, Thailand

Sara and Me Chilling at The Jungle Club, Ko Samui



So its been around a week since I last updated this page but I have made a few miles and had a record amount of R & R since then. I finished my advanced open water scuba course on Koa Toa with my last dive being a night dive. That was sure different, I mean being underwater in tropical waters is strange enough to begin with but then throw in the fact that its night and visibility isn't that great and its a whole new experience. So anyway as you can see I survived that with minor complications except for me and Tom, the guy that was taking the course with me, had to go without the instructor and navigate through the darkness with just our compasses and we got a wee bit lost. We started out all good but when we turned around to come back we realized that there was quite a current, anyways to make a long story short we had to surface and swim back to the boat cause we ended up no where near where we were suppose to. So seeing as my course was done and I knew if I would have hung out there anymore I would have ended up in another course I jumped on a ferry to Ko Samui the next morning. After a three hour ferry and a short song thew I was pulled up to the Jungle Club where Stacey and Sara were waiting to meet me. So that's where I have been for the last week its absolutely amazing. The Jungle Club is a resort built on top of a mountain in the jungle that over looks Chaweng Beach and miles and miles of ocean. Since it is quite a secluded area we basically didn't do anything just lay around read, watch movies, swim in the pool and truly became the most lazy tourist in Thailand. A few of the night we took a taxi down the town to have a few drinks and supper but after I week on the island I never seen the beach in daylight, how pathetic is that. And now that puts me in Ko Phangan, we just arrived today found a place to stay and are just going to hang out here a few days till the famous full moon party where all my rest will come in handy. This island is kind of funny they find every reason to have a big party for example tonight is the "two days before full moon party"at the hotel where we are staying but that should be alright. Its a big pool party of the beach about 10 steps from my room so that's quite convenient. Anyways I am off to have a little siesta but I will update the page again when I have enough new and exciting news. Cheers!
