So, every day I walk past literally hundreds of Thai women dressed in brightly colored scrubs asking "ma-saaaaaaaage???"
It was another cloudy day, and I didn't want to repeat yesterday and end up soaked, so I decided a day indoors might be in order. I chose a 4 hour complete spa package - total price: the equivilant of $34 US dollars. What a steal. :)
Definitely not true backpacker style, but it was just so fantastic and I just couldn't say no to the price.
The rest of the afternoon was spent at the Ark Bar on the beach, enjoying a few beers, chatting with some American college kids also backpacking, while a DJ spun. Fun vibe, and the still very overcast afternoon, kept it cooler than it could have been.
The video below was shot early in the afternoon, before the it got crazy busy. I actually preferred it this way. More of a chill beach bar, instead of nightclubby, which it turned into later.
I had planned on running back to my hotel to nap, get cleaned up, and head back out with the group I met, but I just couldn't rally once I got back to my hotel. Hoping to meet up with them again in Koh Phangan for the Full moon Party in a few days.
