30m sounds like you were out at Chumphon Pinnacle. Absolutely magical place. I spent 3 months there in 2013, in the water every second day with Master Divers. Magical place.One of my best experiences was learning to dive on Koh Tao in Thailand and doing a deep dive down at 30m late afternoon with Blacktip Reef Sharks and juvenile Bull Sharks. Its not for everyone, but I loved it

It’s a disaster now. Over on koh Samui, all but the 5 star resorts have been abandoned. Same with all of the shops. All those abandoned hotels rooms will have been overtaken by mould.Exactly, but back in 2007!
Awesome place, would love to go back but suspect it’s better left as a fond memory
Thats sad. Koh Tao was a great place, but I imagine its been touristed up a lot and now it's all festering as people can't get over there.It’s a disaster now.

Had some run ins with some no so friendly Thais during my stay. Their crims are legit scary compared to ours.A mate ran a couple of hamburger stores on Koh Tao. Their underword was real and deadly.

Two friends that I know met in Thailand during the 80's, when pirates stole their money and threw them over board into the ocean. If you want to see some frightening shit, look up the movie about Charles Sobhraj, he was even involved with some lady from Sydney at the time.Had some run ins with some no so friendly Thais during my stay.
