Chaweng Cove Resotel

... fantastic, you can go so fast and there is so much space and you have very little worry about crashing etc..it just gives you the most amazing adrenaline rush we ended up just shouting and screaming the whole way through and after we had to go in (the jetski man had to come out on his and chase us!) we were so unbelievably hyped up that the four of us just jumped around on the beach for at least 15 minutes. Then since we were wet anyway - me and Mel especially because ...

... could, backpacks wrapped around us. Asked a few places, but prices were too much. Continued down Chaweng's main road, which looked very strange at first sight... when we were approached by a man who looked as if he was either going to mug us or deal us drugs. He pointed to a hostel hidden behind some signs. It was 400 baht a night (about 8 quid), and the room was pretty big. Did seem strange as there was building work going on as we walked through. Think it must've been ...

... which is part of the Library hotel - a funky modern design hotel that looks like Ikea on steriods. Add into that searching for a gym in Chaweng's red light district, a couple of trips to Starbucks and another great meal on the beach (lanterns, flags and private tented boothes while listening to the ocean....) it made for a perfect few days. Then it was time to move on and fly across to Krabi on the other coast of Thailand.

... manager of the new hotel, is a lovely guy! We sort of take over the bar. Hubby connects his laptop to the bar music installation. We meet Michela and Gabriele, a young Italian couple with whom we hang around for a day or two. We take a taxi together to Fishermen's village, between Chaweng and Bo phut. Where Gabriele has a HUGE lobster. And, yes, the food is nice but I still did not find my ideal place: it is all too fancy for me. Until, last night: for the name, I ...

... the rental of a scooter (at double the prices we had paid on other islands) we scooted southwards in search of a semi private beach. After the first 200meters, the concrete road became a dirt road, which in turn became a stone riddled track over hill and dale. After crawling along at 10 km/hour, we finally reached our destination, a pure white beach of the finest sand we had seen. The beach was ...

... Nothing. Finally I buy something to get her attention. I barely get my laundry done. When I left no-one says goodbye. I was shunned. In a matter of one day I went from the glorious farang to a very rude one. The culture here is usually very friendly. I have never experience anything quite like it. Truly! And yet I have never experienced a bigger shoveoff. As the Brits say, "You're a saucer." I'm very sad about the whole experience. I really thought I ...

... place mellow. I decided to stay on lonely beach which on the south west part of the island. Lonely beach is about on hour from the port. I got to sit in the front on the baht bus(like a taxi) with the driver cause the back was full. Wooo hooo. I got shotgun with A.C. It is the little things in life that make me happy!!! I am staying a a great place called the tree house. This place is everything that I imagine Thailand of be. I have a cute ...

... meet with the program director and find out what the deal is cause they are not very organized at all. So now that I have my computer my latest obsession is trying to watch my favorite TV Shows from home. I tried to watch Grey's for free online but they will only let you watch it if you are in the US. I was not to happy about that but I can buy it from itunes but it takes forever to download but worth the wait!I also downloaded Rob and Big and tried ...

... bars we could find. There was only 1 place that from a distance (of about half a mile!) that looked ok, and as we got closer Carlene tried to convince us the place was packed but as we drew closer any hope of a party vanished as the place was deserted! Today we moved to a new place to stay. Moby ***** was too noisy and in a seedy street. We have moved 2 Barracuda bungalows, which are nice and have a fridge and hot ...
