Day 2: We woke up at 2pm. Yeah, yeah, yeah...we are lazy. NO. We were jet-lagged and decided to take the first day off to recoup. All we did was lay by the pool, meander to a late lunch, set up our excursions for the week and book our massages for the day. I MUST tell you all that if you go on vacation...book the massages at the END. It is a worthless cause to loosen yourself up for a week of exercise when you are completely out of shape. BUT, it was nice thing to have on the first day.
We hung out at the house until lunch, we ate, and booked our spa time for later that day. After that, we went to the front desk and chose our excursions for the week. (Basically, the touristy stuff we wanted to do for the next three days). We then went back to the room and laid by our pool until spa time. Brian got a Thai massage and I got a Swedish massage - both 90 minutes. I wanted to try the local cuisine, however comma, I was going to let him have a go at it first.
So we go into the spa, they tell us to change. Since Brian got the "Thai Massage" he got to wear adult PJ's for his experience. I, on the other hand, was given baby panties to wear. I am not kidding when I say that these things would barely fit my 2 year old nephew. Thai people are tiny and that's all I have to say. So, I wore my own undies...while, I'm sure, I was made fun of in the local tongue while I was getting rubbed down. BUT...ask me if I cared. It was fabulous! At one point, I looked over when I was flipping and Brian had a tiny person walking all over his back, legs and arms. It did NOT look soothing - and he was sore for the remainder of the vacation.
After the massage, we showered and went to dinner at the hotel. The restaurant had a single table on the roof at which a couple was dining...I wanted to do that. We reserved the table for the following night and had dinner that night, I'd say, around 10 feet from the water. It was amazing. While we were eating, the Head Chef brought us the menu for the next night (the single table upstairs) to approve. I told him I wasn't fond of seafood and he promised there would be none. This place is amazing.
While we were eating, I asked the waiter if he could call the front desk to fill the bath tub...HE DID. However, when we got home, the water was running cold and we just got in the pool. Good effort, though! :)
Side note: If you ever go to Thailand and want red wine, expect it to be cold. We asked them to keep two bottles out for our rooftop dinner the following night so it would be warm. ALL wine, and trust me I tried it at more than one place, is served cold in Thailand.
