Well the idea was to go to Koh Tao directly but when we got to the port we were told there were no more boat to Koh Tao till the next day, so we ended up getting a boat here instead so we'd be closer for the trip the next day.
We only stayed one night and I wish we hadn't to be honest. The place where we stayed is covered in pubs clubs and every 2 feet someone ask you if ya want a new suit. It was bloody expensive as well, the beach hut where we stayed was a dump and I generally didn't like the place. I wouldn't have even bothered writing anything about it only for the fact that I got pick pocketed by a few lady boys and had my wallet stolen. Mini had his camera nearly stolen by the same bastards only for the fact that he had the camera tied to his pants it would have been gone without even realizing it.
Anyway the short version is that the next morning the lady at reception said that she got a phone call from another hotel who had found my wallet. Luckily for me I had left the hotel receipt in the wallet and it had my room number on it. They had taking the money obviously enough (there wasn't that much in there anyway) but had left everything else. The only other thing of any value in there was my ATM card, I normally don't bring it with me but had forgotten to leave it in the room this night. And they actually tried to guess the numbers cause the bloody thing won't work anymore.
Well I couldn't really care bout that, I have my credit card so I'll be sorted one way or the other. I suppose I should be thankful that they actually put everything back into the wallet before firing it on the ground.
Anyway was glad to get out of there, stupid place!!!!!!
