Today was my last day on Koh Tao. I would be leaving without having done any scuba diving on an island that's sole purpose is to provide amazing dive sites. Oh well. At least I got to explore the land part of the island...
Jason, his friends and I started with brunch at a cafe down the street from our hostel. We then headed to the bus station. My option was a ferry and then a 12 hour bus ride back to Bangkok. No thank you. I decided it would be worth it to fly, so I booked a flight and then headed into the station to book a boat. Only problem? There wasn't a ferry leaving in time to get me to the airport. So, I had to eat the cost of the flight, AND book a ferry and a 12 hour bus back to Bangkok. #DumbTravelerMoments
Jason and I went to the beach for a swim-- I needed a serious cool off after that major faux pas. We enjoyed the sunshine for what was left of the afternoon and then we parted ways. I headed to the dock to embark on my 16 hour journey back to BKK, while Jason headed back to the hostel to embark on a fun night out with friends. Woof.
After sailing on the ferry and riding on the bus, I finally found my home in Bangkok around 1:30am. To say I was exhausted was an understatement.
