    After a lie in, we headed to a local restaurant for some lunch. Afterwards we hired a moped for the first time, we have a 125 honda which has only done 200km. We drove to a place called Coconut beach and had a nice milkshake, after that we headed down to Memories beach which is Thailands famous surfing beach. To our suprise we saw some people actually catch some waves, despite them being tiny. We may head back here tomorrow and have a go. We had a beer in the bar before driving back, enroute Grace spotted an elephant which was awesome! We stopped at the Ripcurl outlet and it was a thai surfboard factory which you could see around, this was so cool seeing where boards are mass produced. We also stopped to see the Tsunami boat which made it over 2 km into shore when Tsunami hit, they have left boat in memorial of what happened. It was mad to think that this was brought here by the sea. We went to a great but touristy night market and had a cocktails with some dinner (Grace braved seafood finally) before heading back to our accommodation.Read more
