So, we have moved on towards our next island, Koh Tao. After a 1.5 hour ferry ride from Koh Samui<\/span><\/a> we landed on this smaller, laid- back resort island.<\/span>

\"Koh<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first evening here consisted of a bit of free time down by our private beach, which was quite a nice change from Koh Samui’s<\/a> bars and public beaches.<\/p>\n

That evening a few very brave souls took part in the Suicide Spicy Wing Challenge<\/em>. The name pretty much sums up what it was. The wings were so hot just touching them made your hands burn. I believe my insides thanked me for passing on this challenge.<\/p>\n

Snorkel Adventure Tour<\/h2>\n

The following morning we ventured onto a medium sized Thai boat for a snorkel adventure tour around Koh Tao.<\/p>\n

\"Snorkeling<\/a><\/p>\n

Now it was no Great Barrier Reef<\/a> , but for snorkeling I’d say we saw quite a few fish and some beautiful, although small, coral reefs.<\/p>\n

LadyBoy Show<\/h2>\n

That evening we went for dinner at a very inexpensive, cozy restaurant by the beach. A couple of girls we were with, tried Pad Thai for the first time\u00a0tonight. I was very surprised they waiting that long; Pad Thai was the first dish I tried when I got to Thailand. But then again, I love Thai food!<\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/a><\/p>\n

After dinner we watched a LadyBoy Cabaret Show. Yes, all the dancers were once men. This is Thailand and I love the openness of the people here.\u00a0 You would not find this back home.<\/p>\n

Now they didn’t sing any of the songs themselves,\u00a0 it was all lip synch tracks, but their costumes and dance moves were mezmerizing. I was very impressed, I couldn’t dance even half as decent in 3 inch heels.<\/p>\n
