We arrived in Thailand on Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't quite as cozy and quaint of a welcome and we were a little shocked after the peaceful, rural Siem Reap. The apartment we had rented was a little run down and overlooked a large construction field full of giant boulders, also it was a pretty good walk through the city to reach the beach. Not our favorite. Although the pool was pretty amazing and we did enjoy it on both Thursday and Friday afternoons during naptime.
The first night we headed to downtown Kamala where we were staying. It was raining and just grabbed some dinner. After we waited for the taxi outside a tailor's shop. So he got to chatting with us and next thing we know Taylor and his dad had both ordered custom suits and a bunch of shirts for Taylor. Actually super glad about this contact. It was a fun addition to the vacation.
On Thursday we spent the morning at the beach with the kids. Taylor and his dad walked to a couple of hotels along the beach to see if there was availability so we could move from our apartment. That night we headed over to Patong Beach to see if we liked the area better, but it was very crowded and touristy. We did get some food there and see some street performers. We got stuck in a huge rain downpour and saw a few shops. Also ended up walking down the equivalent of 6th street in Austin right as it was getting dark...got the kids out of there in a hurry. Then headed back to the apartment.
