Sunset Buri Resort

... our dive and had a break. During the break SH showed us these bungalows on the Sairee Beach he thought we were staying at, Sunset Buri Resort, and once we saw them we thought we should be staying there so we tried to score two bungalows but they were ...

... :) Most everyone was covered with sand when we left and I was looking forward to a nice shower. Our accommodation today was Mango Bay Resort which was still under construction. It is set to open on Dec. 1st. It had a great concept and the location was ...

... to Haad Rin for our last night on the island. We were up for a night of real luxury & so checked ourselves into the Phanganh Buri Resort for 1 night only. 2700 Baht (nearly 40 quid!!!!) but we did get our own 4-poster bed, mini-bar, sunset-balcony, 2 ...

... a preliminary night out in Haad Rin....just to get our bearings of course. With multiple rounds of Singha consumed before even leaving our resort, it became clear that this foursome were all on the same wavelength and it was going to be a long night. Upon ...

... class I found Cindy and Robert. While I was diving they managed to secure us one triple bed bungalow at the nice resort. They tried to get two separate rooms, but I guess there was some confusion at the front desk where they didn't want to ...

... . The water was calm, clean and clear. I almost forgot I'm swimming in sea water! The most amazing view here was the sunset with the mountainous background of Samui island. Gazing at this God's creation with my love one was the most romantic escapade in ...

... down on all the other skyscrapers.  It was dark so I'm sure the view would be much better in daylight, or to see a sunset from there would be something really special I reckon.  I did get to see the Dubai Fountain show from above which was ...

I am still here in Ko Tao and a little anxious to get moving on. Today we finished our advanced certification. We went on the morning dive again and did two dives, one multi level (Green Rock) and one navigation (White Rock). There wasn't ...

Today the three of us started advanced bright and early. Our first dive was at 8:00am so we had to meet at the dive shop by 7:30 to pack our equipment bags. It was just us three and our instructor though which was awesome. We did a deep dive to start, ...

We decided not to waste our 24 hour bike rentals and went back out on the scooters this morning. I was following Robert and Cindy along this very bumpy dirt/gravel road and lost them at a fork in the road. One of the forks went up a big hill so I went ...

We are still in Koh Tao. It's been a couple of days since I've had Internet access and we've been pretty busy. Robert still hasn't finished his open water certification yet. Yesterday morning I went with SH into Mae Head for breakfast but I was ...

Firstly I must apologize for the lack of blogs recently. We have been sooooo busy!!! For four days on Ko tao we were in the class room, in the swimming pool or out at sea learning to be open water divers. Now we can dive anywhere in the world on our OWN ...

Early morning rise saw the whole group being transported down to the pier for a days snorkling. Unfortunatley without a waterproof camera no pictures, but All I can say is that it was like swimming in a tropical  tank, with clear blue water, sandy ...

This morning we cruised down the village for breakfast and hopped onto a Sorngtaaou to make our way to the port on the other side of the island. It was quite funny as we drove down the street as a lot of the people we had met in the village came out and ...

Beuh Bouh Bahhhhhhhh! Pensiez-vous que j'étais mort?! Pfffffffff pas question! Dernier jour de plongée, levé à 5h30, restait 2 plongées à faire avant d'être certifié "pour le vrai"! Théoriquement parlant j'ai obtenu 100% à l'examen! Fa-fa! ...

Je ne pensais pas que c'était si complexe la plongée! Tout ce qu'il faut penser avant, pendant et après c'est fou! Tous les dangers qui nous guettent pendant et même après! C'est aussi assez "freakant" par moment quand on est profond sous l'eau, on ...

Donc hier soir, après avoir péter ma crise sur Travelpod, je suis sorti, armé de mon "wallet", à la recherche d'une place plus décente pour un vieux riche comme moi! :) J'avais pourtant essayé un peu plus tôt mais en vain, tout était plein ...

It was a nice early rise this morning, getting to the dive shop at about 5:45am (hmmm holiday sleep in??) and loading up into the back of the truck. It was similar to a Soorngtaou but there was no roof and nothing to really grab onto, but all 10 of us ...
