Beaches!

Wow.. The beaches were definitly worth the almost 20 hour travel there. I may be exaggerating a little. it was probably like 15 hours. But it was definitly brutal. The bus wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. There was air conditioning and free snacks. When we arrived, we were so overwhelmed.
The resort was huge. It was about 120 dollars canadian a night.. but we luckily had a cheaper rate. There were lots of families so when mar and I arrived we felt a little out of place. It was such a change from sleeping in a village hut or fan room. The water was crystal clear and the breeze was just right. Marni was determined to get a tan. I was just excited to jump in the pool. i
wsas so hot from the travel. We bought a few drinks that night that costed about 4 dollars canadian.. about what you would pay in canada. This shocked us. But because we were at a resort everything was double.. if not more. The breakfast was fantasticly huge though! There was everything from omelettes, pancakes, toast to lasagna, stir fry, chicken wings... (ya.. for breakfast.. very odd). Thai people just eat and breath rice and noodles. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. noodles and rice. But they somehow taste different everywhere we go. Not one restaurant has dissapointed us.
We took a speed boat over to a small island with a population of 500.. called Ko Mak. The hotel owner was the biggest sweetheart. For 100 baht, (3 dollars) we were able to rent a motor bike scooter thing. It was so much fun. We were scared at first as it began to rain but it was warm and we were restless of lying down and suntanning. We squeeled like little girls--the people giggling at us.
The next day we relaxed in the morning and took a boat back to Ko Chang to our rich resort where the fat and rich lay. All the people on the beach were wearing way too skimpy of bathing suites. One lady had a little tube bikini and had her huge belly hanging over. You could barely see her bottoms because her belly hid it.
We enjoyed the relaxing day and then woke up early the nect day to catch the fairy.
I seem to get a lot of attention to my red hair.. i mean i expected it but... on the fairy, Mar and i felt like celebrities. The woman infront of us brought her children over to take a picture with us... each child at a time, then the mom.. and all these other ladies and children came to us taking pictures with them. They kept pointing and staring. I hid myself with sunglasses haha! One lady said you bootafool! Maybe they thought we were drew berrymore and angelina jolie? that would be nice!
Mar and i finally arrived in Bangkok after a long long bus ride and we went to the night market.
Bangkok is a totally different world in the dark. There were stripper bars all the way dwon the streets. and there were men with brochures trying to pull mar and i in.. it was rediculous.

Well i must go. I have arrived at my new hotel... and have said goodbye to marni and a new chapter
