rented a kayak and some sweet fins yesterday, then paddled out to "shark bay". absolutely amazing. it was almost as good as discovery HD. i was all swimming around looking at these pretty little fish and stuff, then all of a sudden i spotted a 4-foot black-tip reef shark. right after that, i noticed about three more swimming around. i was able to follow them around a bit, but they're pretty fast. they seemed to not care about me too much, despite having cut my finger open on some coral and gushing blood all over the depths. snorked around for a couple of hours, checking out cool fish and plants and whatnot amidst the (probably) fecally contaminated gulf of thailand. visibility was about 20 meters (i'm on metric now), but there's still something eerie about not knowing what's lurking past that.
waiting for a taxi now to take us to the pier. then it's a 3 hour boat to chumpon, where we'll catch an 8 hour bus to bangkok. the big city!
