okilidokili. Straight to Koh Tao, to where my other family resides, Massive Gatty and the Koh Tao Posse. You see, Koh Tao as I mentioned is very different to Samui, much better I reckon. This place is probably one of the biggest certifiers of PADI and SSI scuba diving licences in the world. Full of our demographic learning to dive, coming to party and just relax on the beach. I have been heading here for years to see Dave + Therese Gatty, dear friends of mine who run one of the best bars in the world in Vibe Bar, right on the beach on Sairee Beach. It’s such a cool place to hang out, especially at sunset as you can watch the sun go down over the water with a cold beer and some groovin tunes, with the faint splutter of the long tail boat engines passing by on the calm turquoise waters. Wonderful spot, I recommend to anyone and everyone.

Over the years I have made some great friends here, all of which are from other parts of the world making business in this incredibly busy Backpacker mecca. I always enjoy the catch up, and of course the party which inevitably happens. It’s like Cairns in a way, there is always an excuse to get on it, and that’s the way it will remain.

This is the place is where we have decided to put on a promo for Cairns, and in particular our businesses. 4 daze after the full moon party on Koh Panghan in August this year is the target date. Just on the beach at Vibe Bar, we will attempt to do a cross promotion with Cairns and Koh Tao, as there are a lot in Cairns that have gone through Koh Tao, and vica versa. There is also Don who is moving to Bangkok to take on one of the big bars there. This will also be a place to promote, as wel as Kao San Road…

Watch this space.

Lots to say, but more important stuff to say in the next couple of posts…
