Got up to have breakfast. Gorgeous massive buffet with fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, pancakes, pastries, breads, fried stuff, sushi, dim sum, Thai food! Breakfast not included so obviously thought was going to be expensive, so got our money's worth by eating as much as possible- Ben really did outdo himself! It was lovely but even more lovely was they did not put it on our bill on check out so it was free!!

We got picked up from the hotel for transfer to the boat for Ko Phangan. Short uneventful journey.

When we arrived at the port in Ko Phangan we were loaded onto pick up trucks that had been converted into taxis. The taxi opposite us was jammed packed, i think thad 17 people on theirs! we only had 5 in ours and it was still boiling hot.

We are staying at Sabai beach resort in seaside bungalows, it is lovely and clean and right on the beach, we are on the west side of the island which has some brilliant sunsets.

Usual afternoon of swimming, sunbathing. Got a scooter and looked round the local village and got some money and dinner, £4 for two dinners and drinks and it was really good too!

The scooter unfortunately got a flat tyre but luckily was close to home to wheel it back and they replaced it with a much better scooter!

Went down to the night market, full of chickens with heads on cooking, saw chickens feet and lots of other mysterious cuts of meat!

Back home to bed as we plan to do some exploring tomorrow.Meer informatie
