Good Lak
So arrived safe and sound, found a cool place to stay near downtown. Spent my first day looking for a charger for my camera and PDA since I blew the old one up my first day in Indonesia :( Then wen't to pick Wade up from the airport... We spent several days roaming around BKK... Shopping, eating good food, riding boats, etc...
Then we flew down to Phuket and got a Taxi up to Khao Lak. Which seems to be overrun with Germans and Sweeds. The crowd here is mostly middle aged, or older... a few families, but not at all the back packer scene that was going on on Koh Tao or Koh Samui.
The main thing going on here is diving and snorkeling tirps out to the Similan Islands. Wade will finish his Open Water course tomorrow evening and we are going staright onto the liveaboard for 4 days and 4 nights (Queen Scuba from Coral Grand). I did two dives from a speed boat the first full day we were here. It was quite nice, but not super fantastic ;) I'm hoping that the liveaboard will rock... well at least that the experience will rock, I'm not sure that the boat rocking too much would be a bonus ;)
Tons of Love,
