I&#8217;ve been a bit busy since coming back to Thailand and haven&#8217;t updated the blog in a while.

The &#8220;regular&#8221; Open Water + Nitrox certifications are already behind me and I am looking forward to the 5 dives that are coming up &#8211; one of them during the night&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The dive school I joined had a big Christmas party last night, with a delicious open buffet, live music and drinks. The new dive masters also did their &#8220;snorkel test&#8221; which was funny to watch. If you don&#8217;t know what it is then I&#8217;ll let you google it yourself to find out.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s next for me? Something like this:<br \/>\n&#8211; A few more days on Koh Tao to finish the dives and chill a bit.<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 nights in Koh Phangan to say &#8216;hi&#8217; to some friends and do a few dives at &#8220;Sail Rock&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8211; Back to Koh Tao for New Years and the psytrance party here.<br \/>\n&#8211; Visit the other side of the Peninsula: Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, etc.<br \/>\n&#8211; Back to Bangkok and from there to Bhutan between January 10th and the 16th.<br \/>\n&#8211; Back to Thailand and then figure out if I want to visit the north and continue to Laos, or instead do the Cambodia &gt; Vietnam &gt; Laos route.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Holidays!
