At first, we were going to dive in Koh Tao instead of seeing the Cambodian islands. But there was a wave in that area. That was done. I quickly ran some ideas through my mind.
I didn’t go to Thailand right away because of how much it would cost to get there and back. I thought about how to pay for two. I wanted to help pay for my niece’s trip outside of the US now that she is grown up.
It got crazy on the bus ride to the border with Thailand. The bus stop was a short walk from where we got off. A lot of people swarmed the border and smashed through the doors at the gate.
The next trouble we ran into was when they dropped us off at a bus stop. They told us where to find a boat to Koh Tao island so we could take diving lessons there. It’s time to find a bus going to town.
We were both very tired because neither of us slept much on the last bus. I was able to help the old man understand ATM when he came up to us. I went in the direction he pointed around the corner.
The old man who works there kept trying to get us to pay more for the boat ride while all of this drama was going on. It felt like he was getting close to me. I told my sister that the cheaper one would work for us.
