Well it was rest day, had meet a German guy Ralfe at the Hotel where I was, he is like the guy that never left, chatted to him and a Englishman Alex for a while the night before, anyone would think these two were married the way they went on at each other. Alex has had dingy fever a while ago and has it again now. The crazy bugger did not take the proscription the doctor gave him so it keeps coming back. Ralfe says it’s all down to what he eats and because he smokes. It was all very entertaining for a while. Ralfe offered to show me the market the next day. O yes this was the night before.
Next morning got up and waited for Ralfe, he came out with a big box of fruit and kept handing me banana’s and mango’s very nice, while we were sitting the Alex came out with his box of fruit and the discussion from the night before started all over again. Same thing with no final conclusion.
Anyway me and Ralfe jumped on the bikes and headed into town. Now Ralfe has been coming to Thailand for 6months of the year for the last 7 years so he speaks pretty good Thai. He went around and brought all his fruit for the next few days while I took some photo’s. After we had done this he said I’ll take you to a massage place. Ok it’s a bit early in the morning for that sort of thing. No kids not that sort of massage a Thai massage.
240 baht for 2 hours. Now you know if you’ve had a Thai massage they can be pretty full on. Two hour am I nuts. Ralfe explained that I only wanted an hour. Right shoe’s off feet cleaned. Now for you who have not had a Thai massage before, it can sometimes feel like you have gone twelve rounds with Mike Tyson, it can be hard when it’s getting done but you feel pretty good when they finally stop. Now Ralfe headed away but before he left he said” if you want it softer say bow bow” means softly softly. Sweet cheers Ralfe.
So she goes to work on me. I have to say she did carry on for two hours but I was not going to stop her it was great, did not have to use bow bow at all. A couple of times I did screw up my face and she relaxed a bit after laughing at me. These women are harsh. After two hours I was fully relaxed and ready for a swim so it was off for lunch then the beach.
The beach is more like a lake, there was hardly a ripple out there. I locked the bike to a chair and headed for the water. It was slightly cooled then the air temperature but still pretty nice. So after frolicking around for 30minute I got out. Now the chair I had parked my bike besides had someone else’s cloths on it as well. He arrived back at the same time I did.
We said gidday and did the old intro. His name was Kevin an Vietnamese-Canadian aye. Anyway we started chatting away and he is teaching here. So we talk about all sorts of stuff, it was pretty good and at least I did not have to hear any more about dingy fever. I told him I was reading a book about a Viet-keiu who went back to Vietnam in the 80’s. It’s been a pretty interesting read. Could not remember the name of the book so we said we would catch up for dinner after a shower. We meet up later for Dinner and I had just about finished the book so we did a swap, sweet new material. It was back to the hotel after this and get ready for the ride the next day. 80km is the plan.
