Brad and I are just amazed by how empty everything is here. Everywhere we go locals tell us how no one is here, how slow business is, etc. Our tailor (yes we're having some custom clothes made) told us tonight that he charged us about half what he charges during high season. It is just so funny. We were told we would be lucky to get chairs on the beach and there has been only a few chairs taken at any given time of day so far. When we first got to the beach Wednesday morning we were one of two couples on the beach, when we left there were maybe 10 couples within about 1/2 a mile I would say. There is another young couple staying at our resort and we see them everywhere it seems. We saw them at dinner last night, outside the tailor tonight as well as at dinner tonight. You just don't think you would see the same couple everywhere you go when you're trying to find different things but some how, there they are.
Today we had a lazy start. We woke about 6 again, (which is really irritating me, we never get up that early) and just read for a while. It was raining pretty good most of the morning. I think Brad was kind of bored because he began making random noises and saying Thai words he's heard here whenever he felt like it. I do have to admit, he makes me laugh. Around noon we headed out for some food, we ate at a little local place not to far from our hotel. Local food is pretty darn good and the menus seem endless at most places. Then we came back to the hotel and played in the pools for a few hours. After that we had a tuk-tuk take us to a few view points to watch the sunset; it was very pretty. Then we came back to Kata beach and had dinner at this Italian place, I had some bruschetta and aglio olio, they were great, Brad had the devil's pizza and said it was pretty darn good. We wandered a little more through the shops then headed back. All in all, it might have started slow but it was a very enjoyable day.
Tomorrow we are going to Laem Sing beach which is supposed to be spectacular. I will upload more pictures tomorrow!
