I went swimming & (learnt to) scuba dive on this little island called Koh Tao (aka Turtle Island) near Rayong.
All day on a boat, beers for days, new friends, turtles turtles turtles, and Thai food...
p.s. funny story of the day: I actually went on the WRONG boat to get to this island. I went onto a private boat that this group had rented. They spoke this southern Thai dialect that I had a hard time figuring out so I couldn't communicate with them. Once we got to the island I asked to use one of their cellphones but they ALL refused. At one point they thought I was the tour guide and seemed pissed I wasn't explaining things and starting offering me money. After about half an hour of being on the island and wondering what the hell I was going to do, Tanya (seen below) came running through the woods carrying beers and many laughs & apologies.
