Patong Beach #Day5

Started the morning with, you guessed it, foot massage! Also we wanted to use their wifi to go through the million different island day trips that are on offer. 
We booked our first snorkeling trip to Similan Islands for tomorrow which I’m so excited for! 

We went for a swim by the pool and had some lunch. 

Patong is really all about the night life. There’s nothing much on during the day apart from swimming and massages. All the markets and a lot of restaurants don’t open until dark!

We had another massage and an early dinner. My Pad Thai cost me a grand total of $4 and was delicious. 

Then we got ready to see a show! 
The show is called ‘FantaSea’.
It is this hugely advertisers show all about Thai culture and elephants. 


We got picked up from our resort at 6:30pm by a maxi taxi which drove us 30 minutes to the venue. 
The show didn’t start until 9pm but our ticket lady assured us there was plenty of games to do when we got there. 

We arrived to basically a huge Themepark! 
There were shops, games and lots more to see. 




We tried our shot at 5 games and lost every single one of them. Very disappointed we didn’t get a soft toy.


The show entrance is magnificent! 


The whole show went for 1 hour. We had great seats only 7 rows from the front. The show was full of circus tricks, acrobats, elephant tricks, lights and dancing. They displayed through dance different aspects of Thai culture.
The show was amazing but I couldn’t help but feel bad for the elephants! 

We got back at 11:30, probably our latest night yet haha 
Time to rest up for a 6am start tomorrow. We have a full day on the speed boat stopping from island to islands snorkeling. Can’t wait.
