It's early morning today, we have to arrive at 8 o'clock at Thong Sala port to catch a boat to Ko Tao and Ko Nan Yuang.

It takes us an hour and a half to get to Ko Tao, on the way we are lucky enough to see the dorsal fin of a shark swimming along with the boat, impressive. These islands are famous for the quality of their waters and diving is the main attraction.

We arrive at a cliff area on Ko Tao with a reef for snorkeling. I have no words, the water is totally transparent. We enjoyed a lot, colorful fish of all kinds, sea urchins, starfish ... It's a shark zone and the guide tells us not to go far. A wonderful place.

On the boat we meet a university student from Madrid who is with some Thai friends.

Next stop Ko Nang Yuan, paradise island with a magnificent beach and diving and snorkeling possibilities. Again we take the fins and snorkel and enjoy. What a wonderful day.

On the way back we stop at 7-11 for a few beers and a swim back in the pool.

Like every night a little bit of internet to say hello to family and friends.
