Still haven't worked out how to spell the name of this place, three different signs spell it three different ways. All I know is........ this is the place to be. Probably what phuket was before the crowds found out about it.
Don't want to be too critical about Ko Tao, but it is a little overrated I think. I know this the wrong time of the year to be there, but when the dive masters are putting plastic octopus and sharks in amongst the rocks for a laugh, you know there is not a lot else to see. BUT, like I said wrong time of year. Seems they all knew about the Yongala though, 3hrs from my front door, and all wanted to know about it too. Did see my first morey outside of a hole or crack in some rock/coral though. And he was none too happy about being found by these bubble blowing nosey buggers either.
Back on the beach now, pumped up a kite today, about as far as it went though.......... tomorrow!!
Did a trip up the coast, over the hills and past a heap of locals who don't see that many farang.
Out of here now
cheers
