Don’t Be This Guy! – At A Cinema
Went to Samui to extend our visa. Turns out it was ‘Big Buddha Day,’ a Thai public holiday which meant the immigration office was closed.

Koh Tao – Don’t Not Come and The Day We Saved A Turtle
Just wanted to post an update re: current murderous situation on Koh Tao. We are fine.
