Goodtime Birthday bash!
As most people know who have been to Koh Tao, we live in a time warp! I can't believe a whole year has gone by since we opened up our little shop of adventures, as they say 'time flies when your having fun'! Though the time has flown by we have been very busy, most importantly establishing the climbing here on Koh Tao's amazing granite formations. We have also been exploring and diving lots of un-chartered areas of coastline, as always trying to avoid the crowds and discover new and untouched dive sites. On the 21st we had our 1 year anniversary party. It all started with a chilled afternoon of floating and beer, followed by a massive BBQ for all our frinds. As night fell we ventured down the beach to MOOV where our lovely Dutch friends had put on a party for our birthday! The night was epic, with funky tunes pumping from the decs till the early hours of the morning... thank you MOOV people for an amazing night and my massive hangover!

Sunshine and Butterflies


Alright then...a quick update from the Goodtime desk. We have been hard at work over the past couple of weeks, taking advantage of the pre-Full-Moon/February-is-always-slow-on-Koh-Tao period, and getting busy in the jungle building a new and soon to opened climbing complex. That is all I am at liberty to say at this point, but we are all very excited to start our second year off with a new climbing area. The jungle is stout out here and the rocks are even stouter, so get ready!

Our official one year anniversary is this month! We are celebrating it at MOOV on the 21st with a Goodtime bash...it's gonna be super sweeeet. The crew at MOOV has constructed a special floating-bar for the occasion, and we promise much mayhem and merriment to be had by all, but especially by us!!!

We have been leading trips steadily through the past month--here are a few photos from my climb the other day with Raymond. It was his first time climbing outdoors and he pulled as hard as I have seen anyone pull out here on the granite...a true rock warrior. Remember to keep the Goodtimes (tm) rolling wherever you are at on the globe and we hope to see you all sometime soon! Cheers...

Climbing the Koh Tao Coast

We have really begun to expand the Jansom Bay cliff area with two new routs right over the sea. The massive 30m granite cliffs overlook the whole of Sairee beach with the turquoise tropical waters glistening below. There is nothing like building up a sweat on the rock then taking a jump into the refreshing water below (not all the way from 30m!) and having a snorkel with the colouful fishes of the reef.
