Got a bus in the morning to the coast, which took way long than I expect, around 6 hours. Arrived at the bus stop but instead of taking a $1 motorbike taxi I walked all the way there for over an hour lol! Got some street food en route and checked in at Utopia, the holy grail of budget accommodation. Drum roll…. $1 dorms with a pool, hot tub, and $0.25 happy hour beers! IDEAL! There was some seriously glazed gentlemen around the pool, including one lad who ended up falling asleep, and the big owner, some European who apparently just sits there and smokes joints all day. I decided to check it out on trip advisor to read the expect horror stories, of which there were many, all of bed bugs. Some of these do make me laugh however. Its $1 lol.
Went to the beach, haven't felt sand in my toes for ages now, and it was nice to hear the ocean again. It was really cloudy and the beach wasn't that nice, but it was ok.
Met some dudes in the room and had a drink with them on the night, lots of English. Found $2 at the bar, which was equal to 8 free beers. I bumped into Fran from Dalat too.

Chilled by the pool and was nice to read my book. Sam also rocked up from Phnom Penh. Got some food on the night and he was chilling on the beach, we had a craic on then went back for happy hour at the hostel. Met some Finnish lass and some Canadian girl, and the lot of us and other went back down the sea front. There was a massive bust up at one of the bars on the night, a real bar room brawl. Some geezers rocked up in fancy dress at Utopia earlier for pre drinks dress as woman, and again they were at a club down the sea front. There was one dude with blood all over his face, and the Finnish lass I was with kept trying to console him to see if he was alright. He was really super pissed off and just wanted to be left alone. He kept just swearing at himself, and was threatening to burn the bar down lol. Anyways, next thing I know I get my hair pulled, and I looked round and it's one of the big lads in drag, and I get pushed towards another of the the lads, where I then got pushed again. I quickly dived out the way of all the carnage, and next thing you know all madness kicks off, they started fighting with anyone in near proximity including each other, and barmen. Bar stools and glasses were getting slung, it was madness! No bouncers in this part of the world lol!
