Patong Beach


The next day (Kerri's Birthday) we had a bit more time to kick back before making the trip back to the mainland. There wasn't even much of interest to see or talk about. Just a long boat trip followed by a long van ride to Patong Beach where we were staying on our last night in Thailand.
By the time we reached Patong in the late afternoon, the storm clouds had built up and we were in for a drenching. We jumped in a Taxi & headed to the centre of Patong just in time to get shelter before the heavens opened. It was all very frustrating but we hid in the markets and bought a few shirts & other bits & pieces. We scampered out to find dinner after that. Both of us were not enjoying the experience & we hadn't even hit the main street with all the freaks which ended up being all very interesting, but in small doses. Crowds are not my thing. We headed back to the hotel & packed it in.
We awoke the next morning to the view above. Great view from our room, but we had to meet a cab early that would take us to the airport for a full day of travel landing first back in Singapore.
