Koh Tao to Chiang Mai
Caught Fast boat leaving Koh Tao at 10:30 am to Chumporn Jetty, took about 2 hours and the sea was very rough so got a bit sick but managed to hold down my breakfast. From Chumporn I caught an air con bus back to Bangkok arriving at khao san rd just after 8pm. I searched for somewhere to stay for almost 2 hours everything was either full or over priced! I ended up settling for a place for 250B which was ok for a night. Next morning I set off to extend my visa, supposed to be a simple task however, they have moved immigration to government house 30 km out of town and is not accessible by public transport. I caught taxi there for 250B was such a mission, couldn't explain where I wanted to go to Thai driver had to ask a police officer at the Bangkok embassy to explain for me. Then had to pay 1900B to extend for 7 days then 250B back to town, I wish I arranged my visa while in Australia would have been cheaper and a lot easier. I got back to town in time for dinner and got on train to Chiang Mai 7:30pm, had a beer and chilled out on the train they put the beds down around 9pm and I slept like a log I was so tired.
