Ko Phenang Part 2
Yesterday I checked out of my resort and into another one for a fraction of the price with a way better view and feel to the place. I am right on the beach in front of where the waves come in which is nearly 5 feet away. The 1st place I stayed cost about $50 a night and it was a luxury resort. Now I am staying at a nice place as far as view and area (not very busy) and it cost me $5.75 a night with a big bed my own bathroom that is not mechanical… you just pour water down it from a bucket to flush it out…. and it has a shower with only cold water which doesn’t matter because its 90 degrees and a shower is a must at least twice a day.
I am having such a great time, as each day passes the thought passes my mind about staying here for a long time. They have no one to fix computers and I could help a lot of people out and make a living very easily. I have to think about that for the next 3 weeks that I will be here. I have enough savings now to live for a year like a king so I could survive just on that alone for a few years.
Nothing is definite… I am just going with the flow, but I really found a place I love for many reasons. Great people…. great views…. great food…. there is really nothing bad here that I have encountered so far. I like America but Thailand is quite awesome!!

I actually wrote this already but when I was waiting to attach a few pics someone sat down and closed it.
Well, anyway to recap my day started off by hearing what I thought was rain, but when I looked out my window I saw it was clear sunny skies. The noise I was hearing for hours was the ocean water coming in on the beach… my bungalow is right on the ocean literally 5 feet from the water. I paid way less for this place but in terms of location I like it a lot more, because it is right on the beach in a remote part of town. Everyone is really nice and my room which I booked at 12am looked way better in the morning when I looked out my window which I will show you in an attachment. I paid $4.25 a night for my room… the 1st place I had was $50 a night.
Today I went cruising around with a freind I made who is traveling alone so we rode up the coast to a more expensive area and laid on the beach for a while. My dinner was at my favorite bar/restaurant on top of a hill… the sunsets there are unreal as you will see in the 2nd pic.
I am just hanging out at the resort right now before heading out for some fun somewhere. I can’t say enough how much I am enoying this trip and island. I already had 2 computer jobs but didn’t have enough tools to fix the problem as far as software.
Life is good I really can’t ask for anything more now because I feel like I have it great here…. except for the heat which is bearable but still hot.
See Ya,
Rob
