Summary | Second time to visit in Tao Island for the first time in 11 years. I was not able to go famous site last time in May, because it has been bad weather, wind and wave due to low air pressure. Though I have been in Samui Island several times in recent years. It's been a long time since I visited there last time. On the way back to home, I stayed two nights in Bangkok. I departed in afternoon and arrived in Kansai Airport via Hong Kong. |

It was not good weather as a whole. Two dives both in the morning and in
the afternoon. After second day, I went diving only in the morning. There was the accident when I recieved my camera. A boat man released my camera before I grabbed it completely. The camera with wide conversion lens was heavy, so it sunk on the bottom of the sea quickly. I was not able to find it out. So no under water pictures |

The weathe got better in the end. When I finished diving in the morning,
I took care of payment soon. I went to the Nangyuan Island by a ridden together taxi boat for THB 250. I told them when I would like to return at arrival. Admission free THB100 |
