Planes, Trains, & Automobiles....

A lot of you have been asking me if all is OK here, telling me to be careful, etc... Thanks :o) Dont worry though, I only know whats going on, as I've made a point of checking the news, and the web, but that aside, it's lafe as normal here on Koh Tao, and according to a contact in Bangkok, it's much the same there too.... The Airports there are closed, due to a so far peaceful protest, and I know at the moment, China Airlines, who I flew with are routing their flights via Chiang Mai... What the situation will be in a week when I'm due to come home? I dont know, but am not overtly concerned, other than at the thought of loosing time travelling to Chiang Mai, although I do like Chiang mai, and it may be a good thing to go there, instead of hanging in Bangkok... :o)

That aside, it's all good here... the weather has picked up, and if I'm not in the water, I'm chilling in or around the resort... it's quiet, without a huge amount going on, but suits me for now, as the morning dives (The deep ones) mean I need to haul my ass out of bed at 6:30am... They are worth it though :o) The visability isnt great, but for me, from Holland, it's an improvement ;o) I've another night dive to look forward to tonight, and then my last 2 dives tomorrow morning...
So what eles has been happening??? We'll I've met a good bunch of divers, and more than a few have suggested I come back to to a Dive Master Internship... (When the weather is better) That's be >2 Months, and mean packing it all in back home.... Not right now, I dont think, but nice to dream about :o) I've not even seen much of the island apart from the port, and resort, well, not from the land anyway, I've seen a whole chunk from the water...


Whats next after here? That all depends on whats going on in Bangkok, but assuming it's quite there, it's back to BK for some shopping, chilling, & sightseeing, we'll be heading back on Mon afternoon, to get an overnight train... Lets hjust see what happens between now, & then though...
