Today was all about beachside relaxation. After our free breakfast at Burasari Resort, we walked the 30 seconds down to Patong Beach and nabbed a seat and umbrella. This cost 200 baht but as it was around 10:30am we got our pick of seats.
We enjoyed about 4 hours of reading, napping, frozen iced drinks, getting a henna tattoo, swimming in the ocean and people watching before the sun came across overhead and I started getting sunburnt. We then moved back to the hotel and enjoyed 2 for 1 happy hour at the swim up bar.
After lounging around the pool I made use of the daybed on the room balcony to have a nap while B watched movies. We then headed out to Banglor Road again, this time for some drinks and food. We started with the food market again and I had pad Thai while B had ribs. Excellent quality for 100 baht!
After dinner, we wandered the infamous road for awhile before settling in at the Kangaroo Bar for some good tunes and drinks. Beers were 80 baht and cocktails were 190 baht so all in all, the value wasn’t bad. We were considering going to a ping pong show but the guys doing the advertising are pretty damn creepy and the one guy who wasn’t (I’ve started calling him Bs mate as he remembers us every time we walk past haha) was off for the night! Maybe tomorrow….
cocktails: ummmm I had some trouble counting today! 1 x Singapore sling and 4 x pina coladas I think? Lol
Tomorrow: visiting the ethical animal sanctuary that is the Elephant Retirement Park!
