Ouch...it's hot, and sunny and the diving is perfect. What more can you say? It's only about 33 (91) outside, but with some pretty heavy humidity, it's feeling like 39 (100), so we head to the beach, jump in for a swim, lay around napping during the day and just relax. Tough life eh? We had a brief thunderstorm roll through, but it was over and gone before I even noticed.
The diving is just about perfect. We were able to see the entire Bon Soong Wreck from the surface, which is a once or twice a year kind of thing! and the life there is out of control right now. We will, if possible be doing some fun diving there, just to savor this opportunity.
Seriously, this is perfect buildup for Songkran, which is sort of our New Years party. Kind of. But it's a celebration of the end of dry season, and the coming rains, so with all that "extra" water, you pour it on one another. which is great! unless you want to stay dry, or go somewhere, or do something. Or drive a scooter (there were ONLY 650 deaths last year on this same weekend). Some clever bastard decided, sometime long ago, to also throw talcum powder onto each Other. Hahaha..ha....umm....kind of sucks actually. It's funny to do it, but not funny to have it happen. Especially in your face, especially while driving a scooter, especially since most powders also have menthol for that lovely cooling effect...
Anyhow. This year I'll be reporting on Khao Lak's water party, as this will actually be the first time I spent it here! I've been hiding for the last few years.
And since you read this far...here's a wee something that I spent my safety stop with...
It was a REALLY good dive yesterday at Koh Bon...
Wicked Diving
