After yesterday's over-eating, to my absolute disappointment, I didn't sleep in late. Still it was nice to just sit on my balcony, reading and watching the hotel wake up ... before going to breakfast ... the breakfast was a huge disappointment after the dinner ... I was seriously expecting more from it than that. It was so 3-star!
Other than that, nothing else happened. I went out to the beach ... walked down to the next beach ... swam in the sea (second time people!) ... then chilled out by the pool and had lunch ... it was then that I decided to email the GM to meet him ... since overall it was satisfactory his performance ... and we had a good 2 hours of chat
After that, nothing again until evening when I met up with Meer-Man and Sim-Woman. This time they said they will take me to a local restaurant near their place but to my absolute surprise it was a huge restaurant designed for tourists! Imagine in the parking a local chap opens the doors for you! Then you can sit outside and watch the fishes in the gigantic lake filled with carp and catfish! Or you can sit inside at various specially designed nooks and crannies
Even the menu was simply excellent not the usual standard tourist Thai fare. We had some sort of crab that came out like crabment/ egg/ herbs and was so yummy, the massaman curry was thick until you want to slurp it, banana flower salad was the main disappointment as far as I am concerned as it had too much of other things like seafood and not enough salad and the deep fried seabass with herbs was again a nice surprise as the herbs was fried along and literally was thicker and more varied than our banana flower salad!
To close out the night, we went walking along the streets and looked in at some cheesy touristry shops because I wanted to buy some stuff and again it was fun to walk, talk and laugh at absolutely trivial things. I even saw some touristry stuff that I had not seen before
So all in, it was yet again, a nice time!
