23rd to 25th Dec. - Koh Phangan, Christmas on Hat Yao Beach

25th Dec. - Exploring the island by motorbike.

Sounds nice huh? Funny thing was, that it started to rain at half way and we were souking wet, when coming back to our bungalow.
Anyway, it was and adventure. The good thing about the rain was that all the Thais seem to hide inside - they seem to don't like the rain, so the streets were empty.
























Back in our bungalow, we met a nice couple from Sweden and Norwey on there secound honeymoon. They were in the premiere league in drinking, we just rooky. Nice though.

24th Dec. - Diving & beach on Christmas 2008
We went out with Hat Yao Divers to a dive trip to Sail Rock, which is the most recommended dive spot within the Gulf of Thailand.

Perfectly organised, we did two dives with our own dive master around Sail Rock. Visibility 8 to 10 meter, but strong current, so even the fish were swimming forward. High light was, the under water chimney, which we entered at 18 meters and went up to 12 meters. Wow.

The other guest divers were two kids (6+8 years) and their father from South Africa, who have had about 40 dives already. Stunning, but cool. The fathers plan is to get them to the dive mater level when they finished with school, so they can travel the world earning some money with diving.













The oil massage afterwards at the beach was well earned.
















Christmas dinner at the beach, baracuda, mackarele, wine & letting a thai ballon up into the air afterwards, ended a packed day.

23rd Dec. - Traveling from Koh Tao back to Koh Phangan & relax at the Hat Yao Beach

After checking all resorts at the beautifull Hat Yao Beach with Alex from Russia, we decided for Ibiza Bungalows, almost directly at the beach, hot shower, hamock outside, beautiful.

Just spending the rest of the day relaxing at the beach.
