In a word, Sandals. To summarise further, lovely white sand and crisp blue sea but an inordinate amount of middle aged tourists in speedos and honeymooners. What follows is the sum total of our non sun, sand and sea related activities.
Funfair
After the ferry we bought tickets for decided not to set off for the island we spent the night on the mainland at a funfair where I threw darts at balloons, shot stones at cans and found out that Thai people are shitbags when it comes to the dodgems. They will do ANYTHING to avoid crashing, which I was led to believe was the whole point.
20" Pizza Challenge
Probably not the challenge for someone who is lactose intolerant but our competitive edge got the better of us. Needless to say we both failed and both made excuses. Her base was a proper thick, cardboardy, school dinner affair though. Refer to my before an after pictures as a warning to you all.
Modelling
On our first day we spent the best part of an hour watching a young couple cavort around the beach taking photos of each other jumping through air, spraying sea water about, sifting sand through their fingers whilst looking seductively into the camera and lying provocatively on rocks whilst looking removed and thoughtful. Forget the temples, skyscrapers and jungles, this was without doubt one of the best things we saw and they were only one of the many couples who did this endlessly without getting bored or causing their memory cards to buckle under the pressure. We tried a few of your own and i'm sure you'll agree that I have a big future ahead of me.
Sandcastling
No trip to the beach would be complete without a sandcastle. I made the moat and collected shells before leaving the flair and finer details to Nat.
I also went snorkelling but don't have much to tell you about that. It was nice. I saw fish and coral reefs really close and spent most of my time with a slightly racist Swede as he was the only person I could understand that wasn't too involved with a Thai Bride.
