We went to Wat Khao Takiab in the morning, which is a temple on a cliff overlooking the beach. There are monkeys everywhere on the temple grounds. They swim around in the fountains and chill out in a hammock. They play like children in the water and are really cute! They are also mischievous. They tried to grab Jenn’s bag twice. Kyle was afraid to take his shoes off to go into the temple for fear they might take them. The temple had a great view of the beach.
Next, we went down to the beach and waded in the water. We got some massages in a cabana overlooking the ocean. It was very picturesque. It was only $10/hour/person.
After the massages we went to another beach on the other side of the cliff and had some yummy food and Thai beers (Singha). The ocean water was about 85 degrees. Kyle liked it but Jenn prefers cold water. Warm water reminds her of pee and she does not find taking a warm bath in the ocean very refreshing when it’s 90 degrees outside.
It started to rain, and we rode the scooter to a remote temple which featured a giant statue of a monk. It is allegedly the largest monk statue in the world. The statue was rather ugly but the grounds were beautiful. It started to pour and we had a really wet, cold, dark and long ride back to our hotel on our scooter. It wasn’t too bad because even though it was raining, the temperature outside was still quite warm. The hardest part was that Kyle couldn’t wear sun glasses because it was too dark, but then he nothing to keep the wind and random particles out of his eyes while driving.
