Stupid Ferries
Me: the first ferry gets to the island at 8:45, and all the dive boats leave at 8am, so i can't do a morning trip on Saturday
Me: and then the last ferry leaves sunday at 4pm, but all the dive boats get back at 5pm, so i can't do an afternoon dive on sunday either!
Me: so i thought, well, i'll just take a really late train back to Bangkok, and get to work a little late....but the super late boat gets you to the shore at 3am, and the last train leaves at 2am
Me: auuuuughhhhh
Me: how hard is it to think of this and coordinate??
Mom: Maybe a lot of people drive or take tour buses.
Me: oh, that is a good idea, maybe i can get a bus back...though that means no good sleep before work. but it would be worth it for 1 hour more of diving lol
Mom: At least you get to do 4 dives.
Me: yeah. that's plenty really, i should just be happy with that and enjoy a relaxed morning and afternoon at the beach
Mom: that really sounds like a good plan. Relax and enjoy your time
Me: no! must cram as many dives in as possible!

Comics celebration (haha should I go to this?) →
The event promises “contests for karaoke singing, cosplay and DIY comics, as well as a workshop on how to draw comics.” How could I possibly go wrong?

Swimming in Waterfalls....
The pools at Erawan weren’t particularly crowded, but we didn’t have them to ourselves either. Sadly, living out the fantasy of discovering a remote pool and bathing in the glory of nature still requires a fair bit of imagination, or a level of adventurousness that I haven’t quite reached. As it was, we shared the pool with a rotating cast of Thais and tourists.
The Thais swim...
