the night ferry to koh tao
one fine day, sk and i decided to go golden mile to check up the price of bus tickets to hat yai. a one-way ticket to hat yai is SGD 35. with no idea when will be a good time to leave, we just randomly picked a date that allow us at least one week to inform our families and that was 10 march. we took the bus at 6pm and arrived hat yai at 8am the next day. the VIP coach was very comfortable with big seats.
after arrived at hat yai, we took a 7 hours train to surat thani (55thb pp) to take an overnight ferry (550thb pp) to koh tao. akari had told me good things about this island 3 years ago.
on the night ferry, there were slim and thin mattresses lined up for passengers to sleep on. sk and i fell asleep shortly after the boat set sail.
akari was right. koh tao was indeed beautiful. we got ourselves a bungalow (500thb per night) which is 5 walking steps aways from the sea. can you imagine that? i can hear the sound of the waves every day. we were happy to sun ourselves at the hottest time of the day and swim out a few metres to see corals and fishes.

side track a bit... i lost my one and only set of bikinis while they were put out to dry one day. wonder who had needed them more than i do... anyway, i got myself a new pair at half the expense of sk. :p
for now, koh tao has replaced phuket's rank in my heart... :p
