We had scheduled an excursion through the ship for Bangkok, but the ship docked in a different port from the one originally planned, so the bus ride would have been two hours each way. Given that we had just had a 4 hour bus ride back from Phnom Penh the other day, and that we had been off of the ship for 5 out of 8 nights on the Beijing and Angkor Wat trips, we decided to simply visit the local town of Pattaya.
Kathleen found an internet café where we could use Skype (phone over internet), so she made several calls back to the US…waking people up in the middle of the night. Some liked that less than others, but it made Kathleen happy.
There were lots of local shops and a beach, so we simply took a leisure day.
When we got back to the ship, Kathleen had a full body massage in the port building for $18 for an hour. When she came back to the ship she said that I must do one too. It was quite nice: I think every muscle fiber in my body must now be 10% or more longer than they were before. (Life can be tough!)
