Really the diver’s paradise!! I liked the “underwater” music! Very artistic video!

It's definitely a fun, cheesy sountrack to listen to while diving haha

Loved this - we're heading to Ko Tao in a few weeks and I'm hoping to dive there so this was really helpful! Can I ask where you got the night train from, and where to? I couldn't quite catch it!

[@leodoeslife_]

Sure thing! I was actually in Ko Tao again just recently and it is soo different from the time I made this video.. We took a speedboat from Ko Tao to Chumpthon (Chumphon Railway Station), and then from there the night train to BKK.
