Ping Pong Patong
Last night was our first night out in Patong- having heard the rumours of 'sin city' - guided by our trusted friend Zoe with the following words "Banglor street is the place to go to see some sights!" -that was where we headed. I was ready to bat off the ping pong balls and darts that I was expecting to be to be flying across the streets and happily say I ticked that box off the experience list.
However, disappointed is not the right word but the evening wasn't quite like that. There was neon a plenty, some banging tunes and most places you looked there were girls- no maybe boys and menus that were not offering food! It was fairly entertaining and unless you really want to pay you won't see any flying ping pong balls
Following this rest and recuperation were required and some cleansing of the eyes which came in the format of a midday rise and another day and another beautiful beach.
We actually set off north to a beach called Kamala, by tuk-tuk, which I am beginning to realise is not the best mode of transport as they never seem to know where they are going even if you give them a map (which for some reason they don't have themselves).
Anyway we eventually got to another stunning beach with very few people on it, got our beach towels and chilled, finishing the day off with a massage....on the beach...which is a little weird when you are semi naked!!!
Tomorrow we are considering hiring a scooter for a little buzz around the island- up to the budha, down to the point - see a few other beaches. The first stop though would normally be to stop and fill the little moped up with fuel but conveniently for us on our stroll home we found somewhere selling bottles of the stuff! Simples!!!
