After two and a half years without proper diving due to Covid-19 restrictions, finally borders were opened and international travel reestablished. I seized my opportunity and flew to Thailand as soon as I managed to get some days off work and headed for Koh Lanta, In Krabi, my favourite island and home to some serious diving in Koh Bida, Koh Ha, Hin Deang and Hin Muang. After diving, life in the island was also interesting and exciting. This is the story of a very fun week with a scent of freedom.
