Woke up late, had breakfast where we met a South African couple from Cape Town, Weston and Isla (Hi guys).
We went straight for massages after breakfast - Dion for the Thai massage - and me for a 9-step facial that lasted 1 ½ hours. It was DIVINE. While the specific treatment is on - let's say the cucumber - the lady gives your arms a massage. Next treatment she'll do your legs, etc, etc. No waiting around idly. So I got a head, neck and back massage too. Well, well worth the 550 baht (R115).
After the massages, we went to read in the room and then down to the pool. Spent some time chatting to Weston and Isla.
When we eventually were ready for lunch, we went to a place overlooking the beach. This was our most expensive meal in Thailand at 410 baht (R85) and not for the food, but for all the delicious drinks. I had a chicken baguette, coconut and pineapple shakes and D had a prawn cocktail and papaya shakes.Then Dion went for a swim while I people watched (one of my favourite things to do). We saw some cute little boys whose parents had bought them miniature dusters for the beach chairs. These little boys were eating, drinking, undressing but they would not let go of those little dusters. Too cute.
Here's a picture of a big boy with the duster :)
I also bought two bracelets for 100 baht (asking price 150 baht each - yes!)
Back to the room for showers - while Dion had his shower, I crossed the street with wet hair to have it blowdried for 200 baht. We then met in the hotel lobby for drinks (like we were dating).
Can you see why I called this (the place on the right) the Happy Restaurant? This photo doesn't do it justice but all those lights are just so pretty at night.
Went back to the Kata Kitchen where I had sweet and sour chicken, and D had Thai red curry with chicken.
Afterwards we went for massages again - this time oil massages - variation of Thai massage but not so sore. Of course, then came the worst part of all - trying to pack everything back into those same suitcases.
