We awoke yesterday to more rain and the constant threat that the weather system over Koh Tao would continue all day.
Making a bold move we decided to get off the island a day early and got the afternoon boat to Chumphon on the mainland. We stayed in a hotel that has all modern amenities including a pool and air conditioning but looks architecturally like a gift to the people of Chumphon from the Soviet Union in 1977.
Chumphon is a transport hub and not really a place travellers stay the night. We had dinner in karaoke restaurant where the singers sing from their tables. All the songs were Thai classics and all sounded like a cat being slowly strangled.
By the time our meal was over, that type of death was preferable to desert so we ran back to the hotel.
This morning, the plan is a minivan to Hua Hin, further North, where the forecast is hot and sunny. Let's see !
It looks like we have the weather that you have lost. Last couple of weeks have been great and 24-25 degrees forecast for today. It's getting cooler by the end of the week though, probably coz you are coming home :-)
