Today was what we would probably consider the laziest day we have in Thailand. With nothing planned, we woke up, took our time, and finally made it down to breakfast. We then had to figure out what to do. Kayde had been saying all along that she wanted a manicure and pedicure, so I decided that was what was going to happen today. We took off walking down the sreet in Lamai looking for a "reputable" shop to work on her. She said she wanted some place that looked like it would be in America. After about 20 minutes, we came across a place that looked like it had been placed here straight off American soil.

Today started like most, with the free breakfast at the hotel and a lot of people watching.

A 24 hour rental only costs 250 baht, which is about $8. We knew we wanted to go to Bophut beach because that was where the kayaking/snorkeling company we wanted to book with was located. There is a main road that wraps around the entire island, so we took off north knowing that the road runs right into Bophut beach. After about a 20 minute ride, we arrive in Bophut, but have no idea how to read the street signs that point to ... read more

We said goodbye to Bangkok this morning and jumped in a taxi to head to the airport. We both started laughing when the taxi driver changed the station and Taylor Swift was playing. Even in Thailand, we can't get away from Taylor Swift. The cab ride ended with some Michael Jackson. To say the least, it was an entertaining ride. While waiting to check in, we had a Bangkok Airways lady come up to us and ask us which flight we were on. We were at the airport a little early, and she said they had room on a flight that was leaving an hour and a half earlier if we wanted to jump on it. We did, but that just started a string of problems. First, the plane was delayed 30 minutes. Then, once we ... read more
