After 30 days in Southern Thailand, my visa is up & while I’m a bit bummed to be leaving, I’m super excited at what lies ahead. I’m very pleased w the time I spent there… less than a week on the Andaman Sea side & 3.5 weeks exploring the Gulf of Thailand islands Koh Pha Ngan & Koh Tao (I skipped the largest, Koh Samui, but to catch flights as it’s a bit touristy). Met great people on both islands & promised Bottle Beach & my Roctopus dive shop I’d be back at some point. I’m hopping a flight to Kuala Lumpur & going to do a relatively quick sprint through that city hitting the highlights before I head to a Malaysian island for some much needed luxury & pampering bc believe it or not, I was super busy, relatively speaking, on Koh Tao with all the diving so I’m in need of some R&R. I know, poor me.
