July 6th
The weather is significantly better today! Woot!!!! We had a leisurely morning, buffet breakfast was pretty good! We had the usual toast, eggs and acceptable Thai food (fried rice and pad see ewe) but I’ve started to get into the salad bar! Especially when they have my favourite corn! Not typical breakfast food in any form or fashion but good nonetheless! 🤣🤣
Then we decided to head out for a walk. Not entirely sure where yet but ended up at Wat Tang Sai Temple. Wat Tang Sai is a magnificent temple which was built in 1996 to mark King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 50th year of reign. It has 9 pagodas to represent His Majesty The King Rama IX and it can be seen sitting on top of Thong Chai Mountain just up from the Big Golden Buddha overlooking Baan Grood Beach. WE WALKED ALL THE WAY UP THERE!
All in all a perfect walk, it was quite warm, but there was some cloud cover. I had sleeveless tank on, so couldn’t go in but Troy was covered so he did go in. He says it was the biggest temple we’ve ever been to!
After we made our way back to town and stopped at the 7-11. I discovered I can get Thai iced coffee from the dispenser back by the slurpee machine 🤣🤣. So for 27 baht, I got myself a gigantic cup. Extremely refreshing. We passed some “art”?? On the walk back. Looks a lot like recycling old junk, but I am trying to keep an open mind. 😉
We headed back to hotel with the plan of some pool time. This really hit the spot until about an hour later, when I started feeling weird. So we went back to room, I took a shower and called it a night (despite only being 5:00pm).
