There is a muay thai fight tonight at the local colliseum which we will attending at 9pm. Today we pretty much chilled out at the hotel until the afternoon, and we walked along the sand for about 30 min , and got massages for 8-10 dollars for an hour which were literally on the beach outside.
The ocean literally comes right up and over the steps into the hotel restaurant here.
The thai massage station was set up with 6 low matts in a row. It was like "synchronized massaging" as wolff called it when all the thai women where giving the same thai massage at the same time. There is one part of the massage when the woman pulls your arms all the back while you are facing downward in the mat. She pulls them so far back that you are supposed to raise up and you extend your torso. I couldn't take the intense pain so I let go and she fell off the table. She wasn't expecting me to let go of her arms so she just took a spill.
After the massage, we attempted to walk back to our hotel on the sand... We overshot this mission completely. We walked and walked and walked from beach to beach and once it became dark and after sunset, we realized we were lost. We decided to walk up the stairs to a random hotel and asked one of the waitresses serving a family of 4 how to get to Tengo hotel. She pointed in the opposite direction we were trekking. At that point we didn't feel like retracing our steps since we've been walking for about 40 min too far. We walked further up the hill and we saw car headlights.. This was good news. We reached a main road.. And hailed a tuk tuk... And again an account an asian family of 4 who we hopped in the tuk tuk with bc they already hailed that tuk tuk and they were going in the same direction. 2 little children and their parents. the tuk tuk fare was 200 bhaat. We split it 50/50.
It took us about 5 min drive back but it seemed like a major walk on the beach bc we walked about 30 minutes the opposite way for the massages.
The muay thai fight starts in one hour. Here . We. Go.
