We arrived in Pa Tong after a full day of travelling. We left Koh Chang at 6am and after a minibus, taxi and plane we arrived in Pa Tong at 10 pm. It was a very tiring day so we literally went out for some food then went straight to bed. The next day we decided we would chill out at the beach because of the l ongs stressful day before. But firstly we had to find the beach. This took about an hour instead of what should of been a 10 minute walk. Along the way we noticed just how many Russians there were! And also dirty old men with very very young Thai girls! It must of been a Russian holiday because any restaurant we went into they gave us a russian menu! Anyway that day we spent on the beach, pa tong beach was chocka and sooo busy and in the night we went to Bangla road. This was an eye opener. Ladyboys , prostitutes, dirty old men and Russians in abundance. And also ping pong shows. Which dave didn't want to go and see as it would of been uncomfortable with his girlfriend. Haha. The rest of that night we just found some seats in a bar and people watched. You wouldn't believe some of the sights. After a chilled out day the day before we went on a boat trip to james bond island. We arrived at James Bond island to met by hundreds of people which basically just ruined it. Totally to commercialized. This worlds beautiful places are always ruined by people. Anyway the sights and views there were brilliant. After returninig to the boat we then went canoeing kayaking found a gorgeous lagoon and seen an elephant shaped rock formation. We then island hopped to the next island in which we were taken by canoe into a bat cave. And after that we could swim in sea or explore in the canoes ourselves. On the way back to the pier we were treated a lady boy show by two crew members one of which must of been no more than 6! This was more a show skitting lady boys rather than them actually being lady boys. The next day we went downtown the road to the next beach on the coast. Karon beach was beautiful and peaceful. It was hard to think that it was next door to Pa Tong. There we walked the full length of the beach and chilled out and had a coconut juice. In the night we had our first Thai massage of the trip. This was nice but also could be very painful! They put your body in all sort of positions and had some strength in their hands. Next we travel to Koh Lack to chill and to hopefully go on some boat trips.
