After a decent night’s sleep and a bit of a lay-in (woke up around 8.45am) it was out of the patio doors and into the water for a morning swim! Everyone slowly woke up and after checking out the beach (we wanted to see if people were reserving sun beds and thankfully they weren’t – that was the last thing we wanted to happen!!) we went to breakfast.
Bloody hell, that was a feast! They are so very welcoming and keen to help but the choice of breakfast was over-whelming, made to order drinks, pancakes, eggs etc. Loads of other normal food as well, even chocolate chip ice cream so Jack & Charlotte were very pleased indeed. I tried a traditional Thai coffee, it was gorgeous! A little sweet but so nice and very strong. Will definitely have one each morning for the rest of the week now!
And so, that was done and it was back to our rooms for a quick change and then down to the beach, still not many people there and we were able to pick our spot and have enough beds all together and relax. I’m typing this now at 1145am and Tash, Lewis and Charlotte are down at the sea (the tide is out) and me and Mum just relaxing. No idea where Jack is – up to some trouble somewhere no doubt!!
Took it easy all day, had a few drinks at the poolside bar (cocktails of course!) and just soaked up the nice weather and relaxed atmosphere. There aren’t many people here at all. We decided that we’d go out in the evening and in the afternoon we packed up and went to get ready. We didn’t get the taxi hotel and instead walked down the winding track to the main road and within seconds we’d flagged down a taxi, well truth be told, she’d flagged us down! Got a decent price and she told us about where to go and what to do other the coming days, gave us her number so we could use her again in the future.
She dropped us off and we started walking down Chewang Beach main street, that was interesting! Within minutes I’d been stopped by a European girl at a restaurant who was so helpful and gave us good advise where to go and what to do with haggling etc and with her advise we went down a side street to a restaurant but it was closed. As we were there though we saw another place that looked fine called Mr Crab so we ate there and I had my first cocktail, after a beer of course!
We then were off walking again down the street looking at the stalls etc. The amount of food places and clubs and ‘ladies’ it was bewildering, but exciting at the same time! Such a fantastic place, I’ve not been anywhere like it, except Chiang Mai and Bangkok!!
We took a detour down a side road to head towards the beach and ended up walking through a hotel, once on the beach there was all sorts going on, bars and fire shows and disco! We stopped at one place that had a fire show going on and we bought a bucket of Mojito, a bucket of Vodka and Lemonade and a coke for Jack and relaxed and enjoyed the show. We then got another Mojito bucket that Lewis and I were pretty much only drinking from! More fire men appeared, the music got better and we got rowdier!
Bought another bucket and then they were doing the limbo, each time you got under it there was an ice slush puppy shot waiting for you, we were all up, including Jack! And we were battering the shots!! Of all the people there watching at the bar we were the only ones up there really, we managed to drag some more people off their cushions but we won the contest and won a Bacardi bucket as a result…result!! The limbo was hard actually, we all did it but the 3 kids did it together and got lower and lower – good fun.
We then called over the waiter and suggested that because we’d bought so much drink could we have a shish pipe for free, and he agreed so we got a strawberry one and all started puffing on that. Mum had never done this so it was funny seeing her have a go. We all had such a laugh. The fireman finished with about 7 of them, we were up dancing together and messing about with the DJ and then Jack & Lewis were doing acrobatics with the guys as well. What finished it off was me and Jack singing and dancing to ‘I got a feeling’ by the Black Eyed Peas and then all of us doing Greek Line dancing to a song. It was madness, we were all very drunk indeed!
We decided to go into the street and join the nightclub but Mum and Jack got a taxi home and I was trying to get a cheap rate with the taxi – “Old lady, little boy!” but it didn’t have any effect!
Went into the nightclub and that was great, up on the stage showing off and dancing. Then something snapped and Tash & I started arguing, can’t even remember what about but I was in the wrong. We then left there, got some crisps and that for the fridge at home and got a taxi home. Made the night a little bit of a let down really at the very end but up until then we had such a good time and laugh. Tash and I were still arguing into the night but sorted it before going to sleep. Ah well, will try and gloss over that event when remembering this night!!
