Day 165 -- Koh Phi Phi to Surat Thani

Woke up at 10:30AM to the alarm clock ringing....check out at 11am and our boat to Krabi was taking off at 3pm. Got my stuff packed in a scramble and then hit the beach. Ran into a girl from our hostel in Phuket along with her friend so spent a few hours hanging out with them. Sun was blazing down and I think I may have actually got a little burned :( Anyways, Mike was done with his open water course and we got some food before heading to the pier for our boat. Ferry ride to Krabi was pretty smooth other than the downpour as we pulled into the Krabi pier...I'm telling you this rainy season is noo fun! Jumped on a bus towards Surat Thani where we were kindly informed that the lady who sold us our tickets neglected to mention that the night boat we paid for to go to Koh Samui doesn't run on Sundays so we'd be forced to stay the night in Surat Thani! We arrived into Surat Thani at about 8pm and the bus company dropped us off at a nearby hotel and said they'd pick us up @ 6AM. Luckily we had got some food because after we checked in we went wandering around the town and found nothing! Surat Thani is a tinny town, but nobody ever stays here since its the jump-off point for the islands of Koh Tao, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Found a 7-11, got some snacks and then watched a movie in the room before falling asleep...
