... happened to be a boat/shell (think crew) race going on that was probably a carry over from the Sonkgran Festival. It reminded me of the boat racing they do in Hawaii where 5 or so people sit in the canoe and each person has a paddle and paddle on every other side of the boat. When we were watching the racing I saw many locals eating what looked like square shaped ice cream on a stick in a few different flavors. I had to try it since it was so ...

... for ninny is a pile of logs water logged with urine. *******n i feel poetic today! You know what i dont understand? i dont understand the people who take their very young children backpacking across asia with them. ok news flash people, if you have 3 kids under the age of 5 you should not be backpacking in the first place. you should be at home, trying to save money for their college fund and keeping their annoying yelping away ...

... strongly encouraged not to just drink water but to mix a sachet of orange flavour electrolytes to the bottle as re-hydration is soo important. There is a large Plasma TV and baskets of fruit on the table to help yourselves at anytime. Our first dive sight is 3 hours away so we are given a full briefing of the boat rules and safety procedures by our trip leader Ricky. We are split into groups and assigned a dive guide. We are each given a numbered safety tag which we ...

... Christmas Eve (the most un-Christmas-sy time we have experienced) we got to dive at Richelieu Rock - reputed to be one of the top 10 dive sites in the world, and definitely Thailand's top! Tick Two! Though this was the only site we had poor visibility, it was absolutely incredible to be surrounded by fish wherever you went. Christmas Day started in exactly the same way - diving at the Dome (of Doom because of its ...

... leading to a bamboo ladder, stretching to the bottom of a very deep cavern. As we edged a little closer, we realised that it was not infact, empty space, but a huge pool of water!! We couldnt go any further..we did mass debate swimming, but decided against it..who knows, it could have been holy water and that could be QUITE un-P.C.. That night, we stayed in the treehouse resort... oh my oh my oh my... this was beautiful!! Im not going to blog on and on about the room, but ...

Als wir mit dem Bus von Phuket in Khao Lak angekommen sind **wartete uns eine schlechte Nachricht... Die Bootstour wurde um einen Tag v**schoben, da es auf dem Me** stu**mte und viele Boote zurueck kommen mussten, da die Leute aus ihren Kajueten gefallen sind weils so geschaukelt hat... Also hat die Organisation den ganzen Trip um einen Tag v**schoben und uns gratis fu** eine Nacht in einem Hotel unt**gebracht hat. Ich war etwas beunruhigt, da ich ...

... air, least a domino twinkie pitching episode should break out on board. Thankfully, the outbreak did not occur. The snorkeling was good. The first site was only fair, but fish and coral improved over the afternoon sites and the water was quite clear. We saw many fish we were familiar with, including 4 varieties of Parrot fish, grunts, trigger fish, puffers, and saw several fish we had never seen before. Nothing big or massive, but the fish were ...

... find him, I lost Micha as well. My fins were in **** condition and I couldn´t keep up with him so I just kept the same heading and the same dive vector hoping that I could catch up to him. Unfortunately, he leveled off at about 6M and I kept diving to what I thought was 18M before I gave up alone in the middle of the ocean with zero visibility. I decided to abort the dive and started to head towards the surface. I kept checking my depth gage as what I saw differed from what ...
