well im glad we went back to thailand cause the first time around i totally hated it but this time its been great! we stayed in phi phi for almost a week and it was great. i got sunburnt for the first little while but now im back to being brown after all that time getting pasty in india. phi phi's just really chill, a lot of time spent at the beach and eating. it was very exciting to eat salmon yummmmmm...
considering i spent a lot of time there i dont really know what i did... just beachin' and drinking some buckets. ooh well i noticed that all the foreigners on the island were either irish or english and ive realized they are not as hot as i always thought they were. ooooh well.
oh but one thing i did too is that one day we rented out a longtail boat and we went snorkelling! oh my god it was difficult for me considering i havent gone swimming since i was i dont know, like 11 years old or something. plus i kept hyperventilating underwater! its just not natural to breathe while underwater. but anyway i saw lots and lots of cool looking fish. so many different and vibrant colours and ranging from tiny little fish to big ones the length of my forearm! also coral reefs and i got to see fishies pecking at the reefs and you can actually hear it underwater. it basically looks like what you see at the local aquarium, very interesting. i dont know what the fish are called but i know for sure we saw pufferfish which is fun. then we went to maya beach which is where the movie 'the beach' was filmed and it was nice but a little disappointing, there are much nicer beaches. but in the water there we saw a few baby reef sharks which was exciting.
the boys engaged in some thai kickboxing at the bar, eug got his first tattoo and then off he went to hong kong. me and mini went off to phuket and checked into the sweeeeetest joint ever! we stayed at the most wonderful little boutique resort on kata beach called the boathouse and it was soooooooo nice. our room was great and we had a balcony facing the pool and the restaurant at our place is apparently the best on that whole side of the island and is the only restaurant in thailand to recieve some sorta international wine award so thats fancy shmancy. so of course the food was soooooo goood. our place was right smack in the middle of the beach and right on the beach so the view from the restaurant was amazing and for the times when i was lazy, i could order room service from the restaurant, how sweet is that!? so i ate a whole grilled sea bass at like 3 pm on one day.
anyway, while the water at the beach we went to on phi phi was always totally washed out and shallow, on kata there were some serious waves. so we went boogie boarding which was interesting... it was fun but i kept getting pulled out by the undercurrent and since i cant swim it was a little freaky. oh and by then i wanted to snorkel again but well not in the ocean so i snorkeled for a few minutes in the pool just for kicks. apparnetly i looked retarded.
so thailand has redeemed itself and is the perfect refresher after months in india. oh and its so nice to be tanned and full of good food!
