Kristy and I arrived at Tongsai Bay early yesterday morning, local time (Thailand is 3 hours behind Brisbane), both absolutely shattered from our travels. Though nothing was technically wrong with our flights, 12 hours of travelling with fairly limited sleep had taken it’s toll on us.
Tongsai Bay is absolutely breathtaking. Everywhere you turn is another photo waiting to be taken. Palm trees, 2 pools, a private beach, quaint villas, 3 restaurants, classy wooden architecture, and its very own Internet Café make this a real tropical paradise!
After an early lunch, we headed up for a 2 hour Thai massage, hopefully our first of many. The Thai massage technique has been described by some as “brutally enjoyable” – which is a pretty good description me thinks, as it hurts but feels good at the same time. We finished the day with our first sampling of the local cusine – a yellow curry, and penang king prawns. Both were rated 1 out of 3 on the chilli scale, and both nearly blew our heads off. The dishes were so hot that my ears started to clog up. Tonight we will go for the 0 out of 3 option!
Breakfast this morning was buffet style, but not like anywhere I had ever seen. Pretty much any breakfast food you could think of was available, along with cooks and counter staff to politely serve it. They even had a lady there making fresh fruit juice on demand!
Anyway, better sign off before Kristy finishes all the truffle cake! Unfortunately there is no USB connection available so I still can’t upload photos; hopefully I can from Central Samui.
. But I’m wondering why you still need a scanner? I have downloaded a great scanner app for my phone so I just take...

Gerrod, please bring me back a 3 out of 3. BTW, a really hot chilli dish will clean out your ears, nose, and throat, so that one you had must have been pretty wussy
