Woke up in the morning, bright and early. Naturally we are waking up at 7 to 8 am every day. We went downstairs for some breakfast. I had eggs with cheese and some fruit with some orange juice and a glass of water. Trying to drink more water here because the heat is crazy. I’m a little red on my face, arms, and feet. Nothing too bad though.
Our plan today is to go to the city in Chaweng. So we did. We take a cab. It takes about 20 mins to get there. The island is pretty big. Today it is night and hot. The crowd on the beach is smaller, but more people here then at our hotel area. What is also interesting is the water is slight different in Chaweng. The water is crystal clear. On our side, its just a little cloudy. Still blue and very pretty, but its just a little nicer across the island.
We sat in the sun under an umbrella at a nice resort. Only $10 and they let us have 2 chairs and umbrella because we aren’t staying at the hotel and the beach property is private I guess.
Fai and I bought a little football and we played catch in the beach water. Lots of fun!
Then it started to drizzle. Then it started to rain. Then it got windy. The wind and the rain together turned in a storm. It was funny watching everyone gather there stuff and run for shelter, including us. We went into the resort and ate at the restaurant. I’ve been having Banana Smoothies just about every day that we have been here. Today I ordered a banana with coconut. I was expecting a glass with banana and coconut in it. I got a real coconut cut open at the top filled with my banana smoothy. Pretty exotic drink and tasted delicious!
Finally the rain stops and we are done eating. The heat is still pretty extreme. Sitting on the beach even in the shade I break a drenching sweat in a matter of seconds. I think I’ve lost about 4 lbs since we have been here.
We playing in the water some more. About 5 hours have passed. And did it go by quickly! We are getting tired so we head back to our hotel and we spend some relaxation time by the pool. We are exhausted. The sun is going down and now its time to take a break from the hot sun, so we go up to our room and kick on the AC and get cleaned up.
We watched part of a movie but now we are hungry. Next door seems to be a great restaurant so we go there. I got a banana smoothie again for my drink and I had massamon chicken for dinner. I give it 5 stars! So good!
We are worn out from the beach day so we end up crashing early in our room watching some movies and just kicking back.
Tomorrow is our last day here because we head back to Bangkok for a couple of days to spend some time with our family. Then we will go back to Ubon Ratchitani for some more family fun.
Once I get back to the USA I’ll start posting photos to go with these posts. Enjoying the time here while we can!
