Day 10: Christmas Eve on Koh Tao

We woke up early enough to grab some breakfast and take in the view before being whisked off to the port to get on the snorkeling boat. 

(Seriously, the greatest view ever. Got to love those mango shakes!)

We then got onto a boat that would take us to four different snorkeling locations. We only had Chris' iPhone, but we more than made do. 

(The last stop, and where the most of these photos were taken, was called Koh Nang Yuan.) 

We then went back to Koh Tao. After relaxing for a bit we went to a different massage parlor (can't remember the name), which also had a beach view for coconut oil massages. This may have been the best massage I ever had. 

After this we went and got some dinner and went to enjoy the many festivities happening on the beach. In Koh Tao there are countless little resorts and bars lining the beach. Every single bar had a party going for Christmas Eve including some with live music and fire shows. There were also venders selling paper lanterns to send off with wishes written on the side. Of course, we bought two and set them off into the Thai ski. 

I can easily say that this was one of the best days of my life let alone one of the best Christmas Eves I have ever had. It was magical. I think I will be chasing this day for years to come.
