A nice relaxing do where we didn’t do much apart from eat, drink and meet people. 

The Miami Bungalow has a system where they keep a small book at the reception in which they add everything you order. You can check it whenever you want or you can tell them you want to pay cash. So we did not have to carry much cash on us. As the owners were Muslim the didn’t sell alcohol. The bar next to the restaurant was operated by two guys who would spend 180 days a year in the bar and even slept there. If you wanted a beer with your food in the restaurant the waitress would get it for you at the bar.

What is amazing here is that, while 2 years ago there was not even electricity, now every 100 meter there is an Internet Cafe. All boosting to have very fast satellite Internet Access, use Pentium 4 Windows XP computers. Sounds good doesn't it? Unfortunately the reality is that access is unbelievably slow. Checking hotmail takes about 5 minutes... When you start using the computer they start a stopwatch and you'll pay per minute used. It's not very expensive, only 2-3 Baht per minute.

As it rained a couple of times this day we spend a lot of time in the bar drinking and reading. We also booked a snorkelling trip for the next day.

In the evening Inge went back to change for dinner and I met some people in the bar. We had dinner on the beach with about 10 people and had a great time. Afterwards we had some more drinks in the bar and I don’t even remember what time we went to sleep.
