SHARK!!!


Okay, so it's only a black-tipped reef shark, but it is a live wild fast-moving shark, not the lazy lay-around bottom-feeding nurse shark type, and it is probably about 5 feet long. It was very cool to snorkel in Shark Bay on the Island of Koh Tao. While here in the U.S. one would assume that Shark Bay would be some sort of theme park or tourist attraction or zoo exhibit in a tank with souvenir tshirts and a stunning audiovisual display. In Thailand, on the other hand, Shark Bay is a bay...where there are lots of sharks.
