Day 4: Chaweng Beach or Little Thai Woman Kicks Arianne's A$$

After a delicious breakfast (Michael complained that a customer said on TripAdvisor that the cook didn't know how to cook eggs, but I thought they were fine), we made our way to the white sands of Chaweng beach, apparently one of the top-rated in the world. We settled in for some Kindle reading and sunbathing with our mango fruitshakes. Yum! Arianne loved the crystal clear, warm waters. Very reminiscent of Destin, but without the rednecks.



After lunch, we decided to hit up one of the country's many many many spas for a massage. Wisam got the hot coconut oil massage, while Arianne insisted on the "Deep Thai," whatever that was. Apparently Arianne had at least a year's worth of built-up stress knots in her back, because a woman half her size took it upon herself to beat the crap out of them while she silently burst into quiet sobs, covering her mouth so Wisam couldn't hear her pain and think she was a wuss. All in all, totally worth the 800 baht ($20 USD).


We had dinner at 56, one of Bhoput's town restaurants, sampling pad thai and fresh vietnamese spring rolls. Arianne made the mistake of downing two "56 Cocktail"s, probably the equivalent of a seco limonada in Panama (rum, sugar cane and lime). Luckily she made it back to the Waterfront in time to pass out.
