The past couple of days have been spent doing nothing but lying out in the sun, swimming or floating on rafts in the ocean and eating beachside. The beach is quite nice and has some really cool bungalows up from ours that are directly on the beach. The place is called Lonely Beach, but it gets enough traffic with a place called The Treehouse (a backpacker camp) right next to our bungalows and the very nice place up the beach called Siam.
These two days (Sunday and Monday) have been really low-key and that has been good. Lisa and I finally got our first massages last night. How awesome is it that we had a full hour of authentic Thai massage while being directly on the beach watching the sunset - all for the grand sum of less than $7USD...I could get used to this!!
It's Tuesday afternoon here. Staci and I went to one of the internet cafes in Lonely Beach this morning, met Lisa for our last lunch at Sunset Restaurant (amazing chicken pad thai and a watermelon shake for just over $2USD!) and boarded our shuttle to take us on the ferry from Koh Chang to the Trat airport. The ride to/from our place to the ferry was a bit hairy. Koh Chang's got some major hills and 180 degree turns while going up and down, although it doesn't hold a candle to the rode from the southern airport to Castries in St. Lucia.
Now, we've checked in for the flight back to Bangkok where we'll then transfer to a flight bound for Koh Samui this evening. We're here using Bangkok Airways' free internet service drinking iced coffee while waiting. The airline service here is a bit different than at home. Meal or snack on every flight and lounges available while between flights. I think those days are gone in US, but it's nice to have while we're here.
Tomorrow, we'll leave Koh Samui on a ferry en route to Koh Pha Ngan. Staci believes this to be the highlight of our trip, so I'll tell you guys all about it once I have internet again. Until then...
