Leaving Thailand

We left Phi Phi and headed to Kata Beach, I figured like the other beaches on Phuket it would be nice. It was a dump, our hostel didn't have a/c like they said they did, the city was boring, and the food was brutal. We spent hot days reading in our dorm and hot nights sweating in our beds. After only two nights my pillow stunk of sweat, it smelled like hockey equipment. The hostel was basically a scuba schools side business. Everyone staying there was taking a scuba course of some kind. Our last day we hailed a cab and went to the shooting range. We figured we should at least do something in this town. We all shot handguns, Bryce and I also used a shotgun. I've never fired one before I thought it was wicked.

We decided to cut out losses and just get a hotel close to the airport. We booked a resort for about 20 bucks a night each. It was on Nai Yang beach, a small beach with a handful of nice resorts. Our room was awesome and a/c equipped, with room service, pools and right on the beach. It was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in. We spent a few days eating junk food (which I'm now regretting in this Bangkok bathroom) and enjoying the sun and air conditioning. There's a abandoned resort next to ours that was wiped out by the tsunami, it's really creepy. I wanted to explore it, but its blocked off.

We flew an hour back to Bangkok and are now killing two days before flying ten hours to Melbourne. Bryce is running low on funds and might only get to do a month in Australia. Cam says he might be ready to go home by August too. I'd like to stay longer, but I must admit I miss home a bit. I've still got lots of dough left and maybe I'll come home for a few months and go travel again.
