THAILAND PHASE TWO : PATONG ACTION (DAY 1)!

It didn't take long for 

PHASE TWO : ACTION

of our Thailand Trip

to take place!

Everyone vehemently warned us, 

"DON'T STAY IN PATONG!"

Well, guess what?

Yes, this is where we chose to stay!

Thanks for the advice everyone, but John and I do enjoy

ACTION!

After we checked in,

we started walking the streets of Patong.

We passed by a Dubai Restaurant in the event 

we get tired (I can't even imagine)

of Thai food!

And we passed by
massage after massage shop 
with beautiful Thai girls 
waiting patiently outside for customers.

OMG, I had forgotten how

 inexpensive a massage was in Thailand!

Would you believe an hour massage costs 

approximately 200 Bayht?

(Now divide that by 32 -- about $7.00!)

Yes, there were fish tanks full of hungry fish 

ready to give the ultimate pedicure!

(Jon and Jas, we missed you!)

We grabbed lunch and a brewskie 

at one of the restaurants across from the 

Andaman Sea.

It seemed like everyone was parasailing!

  

First time ever to see this --

tandem parasailing!

Yes, if you are looking for

ACTION,

this is the place to be!

The streets were packed to the brim with

people and vendors and food and

souvenirs and more people!

But every once in a while,

you spot something to remind you that Thailand 
is the ultimate spot for

RELAXATION!
(Just not Patong Beach!)

And one of our very favorites...

a Thai foot massage!

YES!

After a day filled with

PATONG BEACH,

John and I slowed it down a bit

to meet up with some

friends from Dubai who retired in Bang Tao!

We enjoyed a quiet dinner,

great conversation,

and a delightful cup of java back at their villa.

We got in some good Zoro time as well!

There's nothing quite like the

ACTION

found at Patong Beach, Phuket!
