Our time at Koh Tao is over, and we're now in the town of Chumphon waiting for a train. We just ate dinner at the night market and bought a bunch of fruit (including durian) to eat on the train. As Rich mentioned, we're heading down to Malaysia for something a little different. Thailand was nice to land in, but we're really excited about going on to new places (although we hadn't been to Koh Tao per se, all these Thai touristy islands are same same different, if you know what I mean).
Also, in a stunning reversal of character, I'm going to post the details of our Koh Tao stay, for the benefit of other travellers.
Guesthouse: Viewpoint - at Ao Chaulok Ban Ko (beautiful, secluded but not inconvenient)
Diveshop: Big Bubble - nice people who usually remember to speak English instead of German
Restaurants - Papa's Tapas at Sairee Beach (the place that Rich mentioned) and nearby Monto nearby (next to El Gringo), Famous House at Ao Chaulok Ban Ko.
Spa - Jamakhiri (or some such spelling)
Other Massage - Thai Health Massage at Sairee Village - some badass Thai massage ladies
Snorkelling Coves - Shark Bay (Tien Og) and Ao Luk

re: dive shop people
Nice, but they smoke too much. It amazes me that people so into a sport that depends on your ability to control your breathing would be such chain smokers.
Although heading for the front of the dive boat is an easy way to avoid the smoke.
And yes, I probably complain too much about cigarette smoke.
