For example while on Koh Tao, it was a go-pro pole for water shots. That&#8217;s where my engineering skills come into play, sometimes you just gotta improve and craft a makeshift pole out of lots of packing tape and a wood stick.\u00a0<strong>Voila!<\/strong> A cheap go-pro pole perfect for capturing all the beach shots needed. This kind of improvisation happens more often than not, but it works!<\/p>\n<p>I wish I actually took a photo of the pole, it was a work of art. Anyways,\u00a0enjoy the fruits of my labour and the stunning beach shots!<\/p>\n<h2>Koh Tao<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/hGIcfxHEak\/media?size=l\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/hHra_lHEfg\/media?size=l\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">@nanalew and myself having great &#8216;ol boat time!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Koh Nangyuan<\/h2>\n<p>This is taken from the top of the viewpoint, around a 10 minute hike, nothing too challenging and I highly recommend climbing to the top.

Plus if your into snorkling, this place has some great reef areas not to far from the shore.\u00a0Lots of divers venture over here as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/hI_fL8HEew\/media?size=l\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>Special Thanks to\u00a0<a title=\"Contiki\" href=\"http:\/\/www.contiki.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Contiki Canada<\/span><\/a>!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making due with what you&#8217;ve got.
