I was feeling horrible but decided to stick with the guys and go to Kho Tao for a few days instead of heading straight up to Bangkok. After a long wait and a very choppy express boat ride, we landed and stopped at a restaurant.
For some reason, at this point in time, if I smell Asian food, I would feel like vomiting. We had chicken sandwiches and that went down without any problem. We checked into a small set of bungalows at the end of Sur Ray Beach.
July 8-10, 2001 - Kho Tao to Bangkok, Thailand
I basically didn't do much on Kho Tao - just rested during the day, ate some food, and went to watch the Wimbledon matches at night before going to sleep. Michael and Grant's been fairly supportive and I was sad to part company with them to head to Bangkok on my own. We promised to catch up with each other and I was off on my own again.
The ferry ride and the bus ride were uneventful and we got to Bangkok the night of the 10th without any further incidents. I started to gain some appetite back and was able to start eating some fruits.
