Kho Tao

Greetings from Kho Tao, one of Thailand's islands. Been here a few days now and enjoying it very much! Got a moped and went all over the island to enjoy all the fabulous sights! I also just enjoyed riding it, especially off the main roads. There are some fab dirt tracks, mostly steep and often quite tricky. Oh and the thing did about 90 km/h on the straight!

Went snorkeling in the north of the island and went scuba diving in Koh Nangyuan, two little islands connected by a beach. The diving was absolutely brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone so thanks again for that tip Jason! Went 9m deep, saw loads of different types of fish and lots of other things that live down there. Some fish swim right at your face and a few times we were surrounded by hundreds of them.

Also went to Koh Tao's Muay Thai training camp and got a private training session! After the warm up the instructor bandaged my fists, put the gloves on them, showed me punching and kicking techniques for me to do and finally did a sparring training with me. And all the time he spoke Thai. Great stuff!!!
