Ive arrived on Koh Tao, a tropical and unspoiled paradise in the Gulf of Thailand. White sands surround thick palm tree forests in what is the most beautiful place i have been so far. Amazingly (as some people will know about about Thailand) there is a net cafe here, hence the post, but apart from a couple of dozen bungalows and some diving centers there is little else on this 12 Sq/Mile island. Famed for its sealife, due to hot and deep waters close to shore i decided to go snorkeling, i was absolutely terrified as schools of tropical fish swam around me and sea cucumbers littered the sands below, i will completely honest and say that i was to scared to stay in for to long and to go to far out but it was an incredible experience, an Australian couple had recomeded a place to see small sharks about 10 meteres from my bunglow which is set into the rocks, but i couldnt gather the courage. Literally the only time ive bottled out of anything. I haven't decided yet whether or not i will stay a few more days and try to overcome the fear but i suspect i might. I'll post some photos when i get back to Bangkok but at the moment my memory card has packed in and so i'll have to wait to get there to get a new one. Later.
