Back from Thailand

I'm back from my dive trip to Thailand. What an amazing place, but I recommend if going, to stay longer than a week as I did. The trip over and back is enough to kick even a travel seasoned veteran's ass. +/- 30 hours each way depending where exactly you go in Southeast Asia. We stayed at Kata Noi Beach, Phuket, Thailand, a place that has recovered very well from the tsunami. It is a little pricey to get there, but once there it is dirt cheap. We survived on less than $50 a day meals, hotel and taxis. The scuba was a $80 per day, which included a 2hour boat ride out and back and all meals for the day plus equipment, but is considerably less than most other diving destinations around the world. Here are some pics.
