Bangkok blows

Ah it doesn't.
I just don't like staying here.
I've decided to leave this evening and get a bus/ferry to Koh Tao, and the other islands around there.
The bus to Chumphon leaves at 6.00PM, and arrives at 4.00AM.

I've done this trip before:
They leave you on the side of the road (In the pissing rain the last time) and then a wee pickup truck (You may remember stories of jostle carts) collects you and drops you to a bus terminal, from which you wait til around 6.30AM, then another bus takes you to the ferry dock.
From there you get a three to four hour ferry to Koh Tao.

As you can guess you're pretty tired when you get there.
But I plan to relax for a few days down there.
Maybe do some dives.
Then jump across to the west coast of the mainland on the way back and do a some dives if I didn't do them on the islands, but more importantly...go for a surf!

I'll keep an eye out for a Tsunami, and surf the shit out it.

Too soon?

Still a taboo on that one?
