Big Buddha Beach
After a day of travelling we arrived at our resort and was pleasantly surprised. It was right on the beach and had a pool. The trip must have really taken it out of us, as all we did that day was laze round the pool. The next day fully refreshed we set off............ to the pool and had a bit of a swim lol. That afternoon we dragged ourselves off to see the statue of the big buddha and its not just a clever name the statue is huge!! That night we got changed and headed off to find somewhere to eat. In the process Janet jumped in wet concrete not noticing that it was newly concreted which was to be honest really funny haha. One night we had an amazing meal in the fishermans village. Brian had a steak that was to die for and i was tempted to go back the next night to have the same.. Big buddha beach is a nice area but a bit quite so we moved down the coast to a more popular area Chaweng.
Lamai
When we arrived in Chaweng Malina and Janet looked at the room and came back shaking their heads. The rooms were on the beach but very very basic. So after an agonizing search Jan found a resort and spa that was a bit further out of town in Lamai it was a gorgeous resort with a pool.
After settling into our room we all went for a walk about town and to get something to eat. Lamai is a mini version of what I expected Bangkok to be like. Loads of seedy bars and bright lights. We had a couple of days chilled out in Lamai and at the resort relaxing and of course shopping lol. Then Brian and Janet left and we went back to Chaweng to meet Jacko.
