We gotten back home this morning. It was a good holiday. Very good actually, but it felt like it was enough and it was time for us to get back.<\/p>\n

Luckily despite all the traveling around (Dublin -Abu Dhabi – Bangkok – Suran Thani – Koh Samui – Krabi – Ao Nang – Phi Phi – Phuket – Bangkok – Abu Dhabi – Dublin) using all sorts meanings of transportation (cars, planes, Taxis, Tuk-Tuks, Sleeper Train, buses, Elephants, scooters, boats, long tail boats) \u00a0 none of our luggage got lost, however I managed to lose my voice somehow (hopefully only\u00a0temporarily) and got food poisoned once (it is ok now, although I’ve spend 1.5 days vomiting) . For now \u00a0though it feels as I’d have a colony of aliens living in my throat.. I blame\u00a0air conditioning…<\/p>\n

I’ve managed to upload some more photos .<\/p>\n

1. Krabi (Ao Nang)<\/a> and activities we’ve done there (Whitewater\u00a0drafting, all terrain vehicle driving and others.<\/p>\n

2. Phi phi –<\/a> sightseeing,\u00a0snorkeling, but mostly diving. Pity I have so few photos from that activity, however I’m hoping to receive a video recorded by one of our instructors during the trip.<\/p>\n

In terms of scuba diving. We’ve only done Discover Scuba Diving with http:\/\/www.vikingdiversthailand.com\/<\/a> – really cool people – if you ever in Thailand and want to scuba dive – go to Phi Phi – go with them. You wont get\u00a0disappointed\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So DSD is a half day activity – starting at 7am finishing before 2pm. It’s aimed at people who never done nothing remotely even related to scuba diving and want to find out if they like it a reasonably low cost (around 80 in that case) with really close to what you get once you have your PADI certs. We’ve done total of 2 dives , separated by lunch brake. First was shorter – as shallow water skills learning was a part of it – safety stuff , hand signals, clearing the mask, putting your breathing device to your mouth underwater and stuff like that. Then we went down to 10m for some 30 mins.<\/p>\n

2nd dive at a different site aiming to find sea turtles – which we’ve\u00a0succeeded\u00a0on. Found 3 of them. Magnificent animals! Dive lasted for some 45 mins with max depth\u00a0approx\u00a011meters (we were allowed to go to max of 12m).<\/p>\n

Truly\u00a0amazing. If we only knew we gonna like it so much we’d planned the trip around diving, as you need 4-5 days to complete PADI Open Water Course. Price is v good as well – around 350e – where in Dublin from what I’ve checked you must pay twice as much and of course waters are much colder.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s it for now. I prolly should hit the bed now as our trip was actually 30h and I havent slept that much.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the photos.<\/p>\n
