Thailand Trip Part 3 - Koh Tao Diving


Hey everyone, good to see you guys back. So finally it has come to the final part of my Thailand trip, here will cover my diving course with the SIMPLELIFE located in and around Koh Tao area. Coming into the new island without our tour guide was pretty nerve racking, but it was great as soon as we arrive, Simplelife has already organized taxi rides for us.






At night as we were trying to find some food to eat, so we took to the street. The night was lit beautifully, still celebrating the king's birthday.



For the next couple mornings, we would attend our diving classes. With the first class being watching a 3 hour long video with quiz, and the second class another 2 hour long video with quiz, and the best exam I have ever taken. With the encouraged team work.


After training at the pool with the usage of the scuba gear, we were finally heading in the open water to try out our skills.





Sadly it was until the last dive I was allow to bring my Gopro, as it was not allowed in the diving to bring other instruments not required by the course. 



After finishing the diving course, we took to the street to look have dinner with our instructor.
And it was this night where we finally had some amazing food on the street again.



















That grilled pork is sooo juicy and flavorful, it is seriously the best the grilled pork I have ever had.



Here we walked around the residential areas.





On the last night on the island, we went to a very nice cafe and a great Americano. Enjoyed with our crapes.


Here we were heading into the last part of the trip, we were heading back to Bangkok for our flight back home the next morning. 


We took a short but wave as roller coaster boat ride to the nearby airport on the island of Samui, where seriously the airport looks like a small resort hotel, with legit shops and restaurants on the street.



We arrived back in Thailand in the evening and arrived at the perfect timing of heavy traffic hour. We were seriously on that same highway for 3 hours to travel 27 km to our hotel.


Not wasting our last night in Thailand, we wondered in the street of Bangkok.


On the street of wonders, there were many things that was for sale, many things.... I sure some of you know what I mean, so I rather not put them on my blog.









In our last meal, we lavished into the Thailand street food, fried chickens, grilled pork neck and many more.



And finally it has come to the hardest part of a trip, we are about to leave the amazing and culture infused country of Thailand. It was full of surprises and wonders, love the food and people, everyone is welcoming and honest.

Thank you everyone for following my long as blog about my trip, I hope you will all come back again for the next adventure.

X-Carve - My First CNC Experience

Image
Hi everyone, my CNC has finally arrived couple weeks ago. I pre-ordered it about a month or two ago, it took ages to get to me. From my knowledge, INVENTIBLES packs them individually and customizes it for every customer as you can get upgrades for your CNC from day one. I got some of the upgrades that were recommended by the forum, like ACME lead Z-axis rod and drag chains. I get it with my own money, so cost effectiveness was the key.  All components were neatly packed with bubble wrap. The whole package came in one piece. They were all individually wrapped for every step, so you only needed to open a box for the specific step.  The online manual was very helpful. They have video instructions for every step. I would watch the tutorial and then read the written manual for conformation.  The first step was to build the X- carriage. As the first thing to build, it was quite intimidating but soon enough I got the hang of using the eccentric n...

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. This time will be a visit to the twice a year Local Camera Market, but this is actually my every first time there as well. Do you guys have local second hand markets like this? Let me know if you do. Post a comment or message me. So, the local market is at the Box Hill Town Hall, in Melbourne. I was really excited to see what bargains I could find or just to see what antiques I could see. There was a lot of cameras, cameras that I have never even heard of. Most of them are older than me, probably four times as old as me. The venue was packed with photographers, sellers and enthusiast that are so passionate about photography. Many of them have a huge collection of cameras that they have collected all their lives. When you looked at the camera, you could see how much they had been through. I also heard from one of the sellers, that they got one of their cameras from police auctions. It was once the camera of a prince in some country, b...
