A thousand good reasons to go diving in Thailand!

[ScubaSteve]

We had planned on going to Thailand to do some medical relief work this last summer. Now it looks like we'll be in New Mexico this summer - Grand Canyon Scuba Diving - Not!

We did go to Japan (not for medical relief purposes) and I had a couple of great dives there.

Thailand does not look like it's on the books for a couple of years out and I'm bummed. I had even contacted a dive shop in Phuket where we'd go for R&R! Every time I see any information about diving Thailand - I jump right in and "dream".

Thailand was on my Bucket List for many years but never pulled the trigger......then a family member decided to get married there and *poof* we were booked for 3 weeks. If my list was not so long, I would definitely be going back. There is SO MUCH to do and see and the people are great.......I will always recommend it.

Just a hop, skip and a Jump (Boat, Bus, Train, Air), to other destinations in Southeast Asia: Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and even Burma(I refuse to call it Myanmar).
