Koh Tao Pictures
Here are some pictures from paradise:

Probable the greatest sunset i’ve ever seen
The rest of my stay on Koh Tao was great. After my Advanced Certification course I did another two dives and saw some great stuff. I spent my evenings enjoying a great sunset and then stayed up until the wee hours of the morning at various beach parties. One night we listened to some Thai guitarists play some great old blues classics.
The fun was putting a serious dent into my finances, so I decided to head north. After a 30 hour journey by boat, bus, and train, i’ve arrived in Chaing Mai. I spent last night ejoying Kao Soi, a northern noodle curry staple, while listening to a great Thai cover band. They were cranking out various present day hits (chili peppers, coldplay, no doubt, ect.) better than any American cover band i’ve seen.
The climate is a bit cooler here, and the surrounding mountains offer numerous opportunities for hiking. I plan on staying around Chaing Mai until my Thai visa runs out. Then i’ll head over to Laos for a slow boat down the Mekong river.
hope you all enjoy the pics,
Neil

neil,
great stuff man. i’m a friend of your dad’s next door neighbors keith & anna. we were where you are last year. here’s a thought. when you get to laos, take a boat UP the Nam Tha river to Luang Nam Tha. Check that place out, then Muang Sing, then get a bus to Luang Prabang. Cool stuff. enjoy. we were in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand, as well as China, nepal & others. let us know if you want suggestions, thoughts or feedback.
p.s.: the coffee and baguette’s are great in laos.
