Well I have just returned from a 2 hour massage at the Spa which I can only describe as pure heaven , feet washed with cloves , and then the most amazing massage imaginable called the Sukothai !
A day spent in a boat checking out the lagoons and then onto the beach for much reading , lovely lunch and lots of swimming , I swear the water is just like a tepid bath.
Last night we headed into Patong , which in my view is best avoided , very sleazy , lots of "wattneys red barrels " everywhere and neon plastic signs , massage massage massage being offered on the street which probably includes awhatever youre into, not quite what I m used to ! But on the other hand an experience . We didnt book a restaurant in advance which was a big mistake . Very large open air markets selling everything fake you can think of , but DH not being into shopping or into Fake anything we wernt there too long so probably somewhere I ll make my way back to alone or not!!
I have checked out a few things available that I cant wait to do, one is quad biking which I love but DH doesnt so I ll be doing that and the other is white water rafting which I ve been wanting to do for years so will be booking myself in for that. Here at the hotel they do scuba diving lessons at the pool I fear I may be claustrophobic in that situation so I ll have to think about that . Mind you I do like snorkelling, not quite the same I hear you divers say , but will suit me I m sure. We re going to hire a speed boat and go to Phi Phi island next week so I have no doubt there will be loads of pretty fish and coral etc to see off that coast.
Tonight we re looking for a restaurant thats in a village close to The Banyan Tree that Dickie has recommended so looking forward to that . I m going to try load a photo of the room I had my massage in !! TRY
