Koh Tao

The full moon party last night was a lot of fun.  At about 4am a pool party started in our hotel so I hung out there till the sun rise and went to watch the sunrise with music still blaring and maybe a thousand people still dancing on the beach.

 

Got about 2hours of sleep then took the noon ferry to Koh Tao, small island mainly known for its snorkeling and diving.  I just got a room and signed up for a 3 day Padi open water certification course.  It's about $250 for the course, which is a lot, but it includes 4 nights accomadation, which brings that cost down about $40.  Also because i came the day after the full moon it's still very slow here, most people are still on koh phangan recovering then coming here tomorrow.  Prices go up tomorrow and it looks like i'll get one on one training with the instructor instead of the usual 4 person class.
