We found budget accommodations at a property called Gold Diggers (go figure) on a northern Phuket beach (Nai Yang). Although the city has a Vegas reputation, we avoided the mayhem, instead chancing upon a restaurant that we visited seven times in two days. We learned that frequenting the same restaurant increases the service, decreases the bill, and expands our network of friends. Plus, with a full crab dinner for $7... you get the enticement.
After overdosing on fast food at the Kuala Lumpur airport, we relegated ourselves to more healthy fare - well, except for the 20 baht (60 cents) ice cream cones and the 80 baht ($2.50) cocktails. Ken, inspired by his bromance with Canadian Ken, got on a workout kick so we had beach bootcamp (shout out CrossFit Calgary, Ken and Crystal it’s not the same without you!). The equatorial sun was in full force, so Ken and Shelley’s tanning regiment went postal - he’s down to SPF 8, I know, crazy! (I think he likes the topless Europeans and beach nap time more than anything).
Ha you guys are a laugh a minute. Seems you are always making friends at bars..strange. We are back home in Canada and wishi g we were right wherever you are at this moment. Hope you are still working on some Crossfit workouts and learning more about Paleo. For the record beer and Sam Song tastes way better in Thailand....Ken and Crystal.
