Yesterday Once More
Fond memories of my trip to Thailand resurfaced when I was looking tru webbies to decide on the resort to book for my upcoming trip.
SpunkIce got me laughing myself silly when she sent me this picture.
It’s the picture of our Sea Breeze resort room at Koh Samet!!!
Like you guys do not already know how bad the living condition is from the picture, I shall elaborate a little more:
*The seabreez is really portable. It is a fan brought it by the resort staff and plugged into the power mains.
*The room was mosquito infested, so we had to plant mosquito coils at every interval of 0.5m. Naturally, the room is so clogged up with fumes from the coils that it smelled like a temple!!! Imagine the smell lingering in our hair the whole day!!?! Hence we only returned to our room if absolutely necessary. We even contemplated sleeping on the beach on the first night.
*The bed is GROSS!!! Sheets are yellowish and the blanket is of a disgusting tone of brown. I have to concede on that even though I am a huge brown fan.
*The bathing facility is a humbling experience. The mosaic tiles are dirty-mouldy- green in colour! The shower head only spurts out trickles of water in a haphazard fashion. Its so freaky that we bathed in PAIRS!! (ok,too much info revealed.)
*The floor tiles in the main area was sticky and felt like a thick coat of grime had been laid on it. Vanilla-Rebina felt so icky that she refuses to step barefooted on the tiles. So, she walks around in the room with her Aladdin Mat (which is the towel provided). It is the blue cloth as shown in the picture. Imagine her taking small steps (as if her feet were bounded) and dragging the mat around the place.
Being wiser now, we are more selective of our resort. On hindsight, we could have avoided the catastrophic disaster had we viewed the rooms online before booking.
But being on a tight budget, we cannot afford something as luxurious as this:
This is on the same island. See how great the disparity is???
We are probably heading to Koh Samui this time round. Was considering Phuket,but baby decided against it...for various reasons.
Again, being OOP, I went for a jog with SpunkIce this evening. It is a good run..haven covered such distances with such speed in a long time.
We should keep this up yah!! And we will work towards the day where we can jog at 6am in the morning!
Dead tired. I am not getting to bed...have yet to finish my assignment due tmw. My bed is beckoning to me though..
Rode the waves @|4:16 AM|
