As soon as we jumped (literally) off the boat and onto the pier we were herded into the travel shops to find somewhere to stay. Somewhere cheap and chearful was our aim. We arrived on the island at about 2pm and most of the back packer accommodation had been taken. Everywhere we tried was full or could not accommodate five people. Our budget had been set in the morning for about 150-200T a night. After seeing a couple of real dives, they were the worst places imaginable, that wanted 500TB a night we decided to look at some nicer places.
We managed to find a place to stay, just as another boat load of people arrived and came marching from the pier to the travel place. We got a nice place, a little far out, but nothing major. Air-Con, TV, fridge, safe all for 560TB each. It was worth the price for the shower alone. The shower is amazing. It is th first shower I have felt totally clean in, since landing in Thailand. After a freshen up we all headed out for a few drinks and to meet the girls we met on the boat.
