baan Rawai

Had a lazy day today, we woke up mid-morning, bit pissed off as we didn’t want to waste any of the day, but also still tired from all the traveling.

We grabbed our trollies and headed on down to catch some rays on the sun beds. Lying there for ten minutes is painful, the sun drains every ounce of energy you have, and we are drinking like there’s no tomorrow! After deciding it’s too hot, we head on down to the infinity pool, sunbathing on the high ledge at the edge of the small pool, gazing at the rock formations dotting the horizon, there is no place I would rather be right now.

After a few hours of sitting and reading, we decide to ge get showered and changed and head out to get some food. Old Silk Cut recommended a seafood restaurant to us along the coast called Baan Rawai, a nice twenty minute walk from the hotel.
On the stroll down, we passed the local vendors selling barbecue seafood from little stalls, but wanted to save our appetites for the restaurant so we held out. The restaurant was open air, and we sat in the corner under a fan facing the sea and ordered our usual 50 dishes and a case of fanta! The Tom Yum soup seems to get more spicy every time we have it, but the SA loves it even more than I do so we struggle through it!
