It's our last day and we are making the most of it, by doing absolutely nothing again. I finished my book by Kate Mosse, The Winter Ghosts, did some Spanish, listened to some music and generally padded around.
Every day so far, the the morning is was still, by lunchtime an onshore wind starts of blow and by late afternoon it is blowsy before dying down in the evening. Today the wind got stronger and stronger as the day went on, lovely to sit in keeping you cool, but of course can be deceptive and you can burn very easily.
A Japanese meal in the evening and a relatively earlier night as we have to be up at 6am tomorrow.
There has been a real mix of people staying at the hotel, a smattering of English, German, Norwegian, a few Thais and Japanese, but the majority are Chinese families. Would love to know whether they are mainland Chinese middle class, or expats, they certainly had largish families and plenty of money to spend. a really good crowd of people. Everyone was so friendly.
The hotel was laid back, although very quiet. The main months are January and February, but one of the Thai staff told me that it was more than quiet, a lot of non Thai's being put off with the troubles in Bangkok.
We did have a good effect on Thailand, they are stopping the state of emergency in Bangkok from Wednesday, so let's hope the tourists come flooding back in.
