We decided to venture out into the town. We got the 4x4 down then started to wonder. Firstly we ate breakfast then I wanted to get my legs waxed. So we picked somewhere that looked good rather than the cheapest (over share but it takes me ages to grow my hair so I was quite particular on the waxing establishment). Lee opted for his favorite treatment, a foot scrub. He lay on a bed in the window whilst I was taken to a room with a bed (and I noticed people were a sleep under it). Not freaked out at all I messaged Lee only to find he had a woman on top of him. Apparently she felt the urge to give him a free body massage (bum cheeks and all). Lee messaged me to draw my attention to the noises coming from behind a curtain. A man was very pleased with his 'private' massage. Right 3 women walked in my room. One had a pot of wax. All 3 had a go at putting the boiling hot wax in a blob on my leg. I jumped with the pain/heat - they laughed. I said no its very hot. A reply I got was yes yes then a Cheshire cat smile - sadist! I messaged Lee for help but he was too busy getting his feet chiseled. About an hour later (the work force had whittled down to two) they had a torch looking for areas they had missed..... Flipping loads. Luckily I'd only opted for half leg! I started pointing at areas then I looked properly at my legs..... I looked like I had the measles! I put up with that pain in the name of - it most definitely didn't look like beauty?! I gave up and told them to stop. They looked puzzled so I told them 'my legs look awful, I will shave tonight and in future' they said ok?. Up I jumped and into the main room where Lee was waiting and laughing - all relaxed from his 'extras'. I still had my pedicure to go which gave my legs chance to calm down and me and Lee chance to evaluate this establishment. Turns out its one of those cheeky salons that have 'treatments' so when I ordered a leg wax no wonder they didn't have the foggiest what they were doing. I never thought that the a place that provided 'extras' didn't know how to do the basics? My pedicure consisted of her taking my old nail vanish off and putting on a new? Isn't that just painting your toe nails? We paid and ran - and may I add we did not tip!
We decided to get a tuna sub because there was a subway and its my favourite (Lee didn't trust them with his Italian BLT). We took our foot long and shared it on the beach. We went back on the street and had a look in some shops. I wanted some sun glasses (I lost my 100 baht ray bans tubing in Vang Vieng) the same glasses I'd bought in Bangkok were 450 bahts here... That kind of over pricing followed suit for other items we enquired about - the excuse being things are imported here from Bangkok so it costs more! As we were getting bored of the town we were stopped by a South African girl who gave us a card to scratch - what would you know Lee won a tshirt and I won either an iPad or a holiday..... Oh any other time we'd walk away but Lee would love an iPad. All we had to do is listen to a presentation (time share) for an hour then we'd know if we'd won a holiday or an iPad. The presentation was about 3 hours and they were VERY pushy. We won a holiday. Would have been handy if it didn't have a stupid clause 'not to be used until 45 days after the issue date' basically once we've left Thailand. We got the Absolute time share people to drop us off at the huge Tesco lotus. Koh Samui at one point was a quiet, beautiful island and now it was so commercialised it has a Tesco (and Starbucks, boots, subway, Mac Donald's, KFC). We had to see what their Tesco was like (me more so than Lee) it had a food court in it (local food) a cinema, shops then the huge Tesco. We bought a travel kettle!!! And we had a look at the wine and purchased Moscato! We got a few more bits and bobs then rang the jungle club to come and pick us up. We got changed, had something to eat then had a little drink. One of the men who worked there was really friendly (they're all really friendly but this one was more our friend) he offered to take us in the town to show us where to party so we decided we'd go tomorrow night then parted for bed.
As we were walking to our hut Lee usually uses his phone to guide the way (it's pretty dark and there's trees In-between the bar and the hut) but he was texting Dan p so I'd walked ahead. The next minute I heard a dog growl, turned and the guard dog was hanging off Lees arm. Lee (I'm presuming in shock) asked the dog what it was doing and the dog let go then lay back down. He had two teeth marks in his arm! We went back to the bar whilst they cleaned it then we went to bed.
