moped’ing around
February 20th, 2005 stevel
we woke up late (9am… hey, it’s late for us) at our beautiful hotel. we stayed at “Baan Haad Ngam”, a really great hotel that’s in the best beach on the island: Chaweng Beach. Chaweng suffers from the usual glut of tourists, and it’s basically a strip of really loud noisy bars/restuarants/hotels. fortunately, Baan Haad Ngam is allllllll the way at the north end, secluded from everything else - but close enough to be a 10 minute moped ride into town. the only downside to the hotel? nobody speaks English. oh well. this is Thailand after all.
we woke up, did laundry, and headed into town to find a nice spa to book before heading off to Na Muang 2 waterfall on the moped. along the way, we stopped for a quick half hour elephant trek. it’s really tricky riding one of these things. i kept feeling like i was continually falling forward. all in all, a really interesting experience.
after the waterfall hike, we headed back into town where Wendy got what was apparently the best facial of her life at the Four Seasons while i bargain hunted for a new pair of flip flops.
in the evening we had dinner at Sandal’s, in my opinion - one of the best restaurants on Chaweng. it’s great, the tables are literally on the beach - you can take your shoes off and you’re in the sand.
