From Bangkok we then went to Koh Tao, a really nice island up north from Koh Samui. We took a night train from Bangkok to Surat Thani (because of the weather we couldn't leave from Chumphon, which would have been shorter...), anyway, it was a sixtenn hours journey, we were pretty tired after that. However it wasn't the end, we took a bus to a station where we had to wait, then another bus to the pier. And then (yes it was a long long journey) we took our fisrt boat to Koh Samui and then a second to Koh Tao, I think it took four hours to arrive at our final destination. After this pretty long day of traveling we were pretty happy to finally arrive to our bungalow and relax for two weeks.
Koh Tao is a pretty small island, really quiet (if you don't stay near the main beaches) and with a lot of jungle landscapes. We spent most of our time eating, sleeping on the beach, reading, snorkeling, enjoying the sun, it was really nice to relax after Bangkok crazyness. We also did our first dive, it was amzing, we saw a lot of fish and the water was so clear ! But as much as I love swimming and being under water, 6 meters was already too deep for me, it made me feel claustrofobic.. My friend really liked it so she got her Open Water while I took Thaï massage classes which was very interesting and as we were two, half of the time consited of me getting a massage (pretty good deal haha).
