Bangtao Beach, last day in Phuket

Today was a pretty relaxed day.  We went for breakfast just after 8.  We came back to our room and sat on our patio and finished booking the last of our flights for the Philippines. At least our credit card worked today!  We still have some hotels to book but we can get those done another day, we were more concerned that we got flights when we needed.

Lots of water activity today. We saw one seadoo getting checked over after it was in a bit of a crash on the water. Never did figure out what happened but the drivers were young Russians.

We headed down to the beach after 10.  We went back to the same area on the beach but slightly over from where we were yesterday.  The lounge chairs we rented yesterday had much thinner pads on them and the one’s today were slightly thicker although after an hour or so it was hard to tell the difference!

Looking North along the beach that runs for miles.
Looking South along the beach that runs to the base that small mountain on the horizon. Behind that mountain is another stretch of beach.

The video above starts with our gargoyle, Kermit the frog and the movie ends with the beach scenes. 

Todays lunch spot, we are corn on the cob, roasted over coals. The cobs were huge!
Looking towards the kitchen.

The water here is like a bathtub!  Very warm and clear.  We came back and had a swim in the pool to try and get more sand off, then had a shower.  We went back down to the beach for supper, ended up farther down the beach at Captain Kooks and had a table right on the beach.  The food was ok, not as spicy as some we’ve had.  When we paid and the guy brought our change we only brought change for $500, Gary swears he gave him $1000 as he didn’t have any $500 bills in his wallet.  After much discussion and the gal checked with the manager, there were many “sorry, sorry” but the manager said it was $500.  So either we made a mistake or they did, either way it kind of took the shine off supper!

A girl walked by just as I was taking a picture of the sunset.
The fish selection at Captain Kook's on the beach. Not sure if they ripped me off on the change or not. Thai money has hard to read numbers and it was dark. Either way, I got change for 500 THB instead of the 1000THB that I thought I had given him.

We headed back to the room to get packed up as we leave tomorrow.  We have a ferry booked and they are supposed to pick us up between 7 and 7:15.  Breakfast doesn’t start till 7 but the guy last night told us to come at 6:45 and they’d feed us, guy tonight said come at 7 and they can wait for you…..think we’ll show up at 6:45 and hope the breakfast gals take pity on us!
