Last day in Thailand for a while...What to do?

So i have decided that i need to be in the States to trade the market at least until the volatility slows down. So what to do with my last day in Thailand, wait Phuket, wait isnt there a beach nearby...here I come.

I went to Karon Beach because i had never been to that particular beach before and it is supposed to be a mix between Patong party and Kata clean so i took a motorbike taxi over there. I finally shopped a little bit and got 3 Lacoste polos, 2 Thailand shirts, some yoga pants, and of course a thailand plate thing all for a whopping 40 bucks. Was a stretch and i didnt really bargain mainly because i had to get rid of a lot of baht. When Cody's card got eaten the night before i had to spot him a little and i was left with a bunch when he left. Ergo a spendthrift last day. I went to a cool spot close to the beach and grabbed some amazing non-tourist pad thai and spiced the hell out of it. After food i decided that the only proper thing to do would be to get a massage on the beach, duh. So i met Moon, my massage lady, and i put my new yoga pants on. She actually gave me an oil massage which is much less painful but much less cool than a real thai massage. I loved it either way because I was laying about 30 feet from the beach and the wind was blowing and the waves were crashing and the palm trees swaying. Pretty ideal for a relaxing massage. Moon had a son my age and had been doing massage for 22 yrs.

So I strolled over and grabbed a pineapple/orange shake and hopped onthe local bus to Phuket town after walking the whole beach and taking in the sights and sounds. I chilled out in the AC at my hotel(i use the term AC loosely here) in order to use the internet and set up a place to stay for my temporary visit to Austin as well as talk to friends. then i went to the bus station.

When i got to the airport at 6pm i found out that the Korean Air terminal didnt even open till 9:45pm and my flight was at 12:45am so i decided to go see another adventure. Grabbed a taxi to Hat Nai Yang, a beach right near the airport. I grabbed a delicious crab dinner on the beach at sunset for 8 bucks, which is really splurging here, then just watched the sun go down. I wasnt full so i hit up the Royal Indian Cuisine which beat the hell out of the crab and...the owner spoke ENGLISH! I finally had the spiciest dish in thailand which wasnt even thai food. I think Thai spice isnt a big deal if you grew up in texas because we eat a lot of spicy food all the time.

I grabbed a chang and rolled to Orange bar where i hung out with the locals and beat a girl named Pim in pool and connect four and played some card game i didnt even understand. Needless to say i was the one taking shots the most during the card game, haha. One of the dudes from the bar gave me a ride to the airport and I just made my flight on time. Here I am in Seoul, South Korea and I have a 9 hour layover so i am going to go tour the city here. the next post has some cool info on Thailand.
