Kata Beach
So lets start by saying that I got sunburnt today... again... damit. Not too bad at least. We went to Kata beach. Much more my sort of thing. Less crowded than Patong. Lots of jet ski's though, wakeboarding, parasailing. Still very touristy. Nothing much to say. We spent the whole day at the beach. Christaan and myself both got burnt, my sister just got blacker. Never black enough I tell you, she is never black enough. The bus we took to the beach was awsome. It only cost us 35 baht. Not too bad at all in my books. We hit bed early yesterday, so that means we are going out to one of the local bars soon. Looking forward to seeing how it is. The island is amazing. I wish I could post the pics... Just forest everywhere. Though there are so soo many touristy things to do. We are trying to avoid them because they are kinda expensive and you can have an amazing time with the locals. I ended up chatting to a girl from Hong Kong last night. She is english doing a year in Hong Kong. She says Hong Kong is awsome much more westernized than here. Come to think of it, this place we are staying at is pretty eastern. I like it. Haven't met any nice Thai girls yet. Seen many good looking ones in Bangkok. Though all you see at the beaches here are freaking foreigners. It's kinda depressing. The beaches are loaded with foreigners. Many of them over average weight to the girls in South Africa. Im starting to realise why they say that the South African women are among the best in the world. The weather is nice and hot. Similar to us in the day, though the humidity stays in the evening. At least we have A/C. My sister is going to drive me nuts. Today was fine, but up until today she has only been focusing on the negetive of the trip which in my opinion has not been bad at all. I told her its influencing my enjoyment of the holiday and she seems to be lightening up a bit. I've told myself that I'm not going to let anything ruin my vacation so if she wants to get moody fine... I'll go about my own ways. What else is there to report. O yes I saw a T-Shirt today that said, I don't want a f*ck*ng massage, suit or tuk tuk thank you. So true. Every one of those people are out to make a quick buck off you. Not in a bad way just that you walk down the street, even in Bangkok, and the local taxi drivers are like "taxi! taxi!". The other thing is the freaking suit places. Every single one of them want to make you a suit overnight. I've read that most of them are scams. But they are so persistant. Like they want to know where you come from and when they find out I'm from SA they talk Xhosa and Afrikaans. Very wierd. Funny actually. Don't want to get a suit yet. O yes there is a "convenience" store 2 shops to the left of the entrance to the place I'm staying. Its more convenient because you can buy alchohol there for cheap, than an actual convenience store that we know. Right there is a lot to say and everyone says that a picture is worth a thousand words. So I'll continue these updates and let the photos do the rest of the talking.
