Sawadee Ka! Woke up this morning feeling great after a good nights sleep. Went to breakfast at the restaurant and it was packed, must have had lots of guests arrive over the weekend, mostly Australians. Breakfast over we got on the scooter and headed into Chewang, I had my Dr's appointment at Samui International Hospital for my check up, all was well, Dr happy pills worked no more back or stomach pain, still gave me another week of pills, just in case. Rick went to dentist in the same hospital and had his 2 teeth out, all good with him too. Cost us next to nothing which goes to show what a rip off the Australian doctors and dentists are. The service and treatment here is so much better and the cost much less so why go in oz at all. That over with we jumped on the scooter and headed to the other end of Chewang to a shop that sold everything for the buddhist temples and we picked up some great chinese laterns and other nic naks, wicked shop and I wanted to buy just about everything, Rick wouldn't let me, Bugger! Back home and a bit of a nanny nap. Woke up in time to walk down the beach for dinner, decided to have a break from Thai food and go for chicken burger and fries, pretty good too, a lovely friendly thai family own the restaurant and the whole family run it, they all live at the back of it as well as own and rent out a couple of holiday houses out back as well, no wonder they work 24 hours a day. Its Full Moon tonight so everyone was out and about. There is a big Full Moon party on the Island Koh Phang nanh, which is the party island not far from here where all the backpackers go. As we were walking back from the beach we could hear the fireworks from over there. Back to our villa and it was time for a swim there's nothing more refreshing than a swim before bed. Would love to have a pool like this in our place in Queensland for when we retire. Anyways thats it for today, have posted more photos. Until tomorrow. La Kon
