Koh Phangan

well my friends, we've hit the jackpot.
and that jackpot is Haad Yao on Koh Phangan. this place is unreal... we are splurging a bit and staying at a gorgeous little resort in a bungalow on the beach, its about 800 baht for the both of us, so around 12$ each. insanely cheap but expensive for here. the beach is amazing, powdery sand, turquoise water, great little bars/restaurants. i think we may be stuck here for a few days. this island is a lot different than the one we did our diving on (koh tao).. less westernized and much bigger. lots of farming areas and mountains and jungles. we are in the north end of the island which is MUCH nicer than the south end (around where the full moon parties are). we were going to stay at a place down there but realized we needed to go somewhere else, and thank god we did because there is no comparison.
anyways, we finished our diving course yesterday and are fully certified!! wooooooot! left koh tao this morning on the boat to where we are now. the boat ride was awesome, just napped on the front of the boat in the sun. we are pretty excited to just relax for a couple days and not wake up at 6am to go diving. i think tomorrow we are going to go on a tour of the Angthong National Marine Park which looks gorgeous. the boat leaves at 8am and we snorkel, kayak, and cruise around through all the little islands in the park. super excited!
thats it for now.
