Open Water SCUBA - Ko Tao

With about 15 people squeezed into a minibus (fit for about 11 people), we set off for the east coast. A high-speed catamaran called the "Lomprayah" took us from the port to the island of Ko Tao. Ko Tao (which means "Turtle Island" in Thai) is the smallest and least developed of the chain...

Ordinary Life

Some places just have that feel. The feel that can change everything. Surround you with contentment. "Smiley Bungalows" did just this. The setting, the people, smiling children, treehouse room, tubing in the rain. Apparently the energy created was reciprocal. Pandao, the little girl, was...
