We spent the past 10 nights enjoying the reliable A/C at Tommy Resort (A, Location, pool, breakfast, and people make this one a real winner) and the days gawking at the beautiful people getting burnt on the soft sands of Haad Rin Nok beach. Never have I seen such a collection of swimsuit calendar candidates in greater concentration. And yes, I'm talking about you too, Mr. Italian guy playing volleyball in his bikini underwear. I'll admit, you ARE fit, I just wish you could afford pants. Also, I think I may have to move to Israel after this week. With all of the signs and menus in Hebrew and everyone being all golden brown and hot, it feels like we're vacationing in Tel Aviv. I never knew I loved falafel and hummus so much.
In addition to the reliably awesome Thai staples (red, green and panang curries, laab moo, papaya salad and glass noodle salad), we've been loading up on chicken schnitzel sandwiches. These things are a-ma-zing. My life was empty before I found salvation and, apparently, it comes crispy and delicious on a bun. We've been flirting with getting a fryer for home ever since the first one.
In between feedings, we also managed to get out a bit. One day, we took a catamaran over to Ko Tao and Ko Nangyuan for a day of impressive snorkeling and another we explored the beaches around Ko Phangnan. Turns out, most of these beaches that are supposed to be deserted, aren't.
Now, home is not so far away. Tomorrow we ferry/bus it to Bangkok for a day of fruit shakes and drug shopping. Then its two short flights back to Dulles (via Tokyo). I think I'm finally ready to appreciate the reliability of Applebee's.
