We needed to ship a 10kg box today before leaving to Koh Samui tomorrow. We both had very large coats and some misc stuff that we didn’t need anymore. We also bought a few gifts and shipped those also.
The 10kg box shipped via DHL to Florida in 3-4 Business days cost 4300 baht.
Amber and I both got another facial. We opted for the cheaper facial this time (300 baht compared to the 1050 baht one we got last time)
IMO this one was just as good and it actually ended up lasting longer because my facialist took a long time getting the blackheads out of my nose.

Was sick today but still went to the beach and decided to try out the Aqua Zone finally.
[x] Lots of Treading Water
Was actually a really good work out I also had my dive bag with me so I was only really able to swim with one arm. Climbed the giant Iceberg and slipped jumped at the top, which was a lot of fun.

Today I stand a little taller because I feel a little bit more like James Bond (my initials).
[x] Shot a gun at the shooting range
[x] Purchased an Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition watch

[ ] Holding The Gun Sideways
[x] Holding The Gun Upside Down
Obviously I was posing for this picture and didn’t actually shoot the gun like that but I didn’t mean to pose with it upside down. I didn’t actually notice that the gun was upside down in the picture until Vlad pointed it out. I got 9/10 bullets on the target and 1 bullet between the 9/8

[x] Sand Castles
[x] Hair Cut
Don’t want to sound arrogant but i’m getting amazing at building sand castles.

Everyday Amber and I have been going to the beach and I spend a good 4 hours making a variation of the same sand castle. Each day I’m getting better and better. Hopefully soon I will be able to make something with a nice wow factor.

Went to the Beach today and checked out the mall in Phuket. Booked a tour to James Bond Island and Phi Phi Island.
Both placed asked for 2800 Baht but I got them down to 1,000 baht for James Bond Island and 1,250 baht for the Phi Phi Island tour. (1USD = 35 Baht). Since the prices for the tours are printed inside the brochures you would think that you can’t haggle but trust me you can.

What makes sand stand? The secret to throwing sand up in the air and convincing it to stay there long enough to be carved into something spectacular is compaction and moist sand.
The sand castle above that I built is nice but I want spectacular. Since I’ll be going to the beach everyday maybe i’ll be able to.

We spent the morning at the Golden Palace. On the way there the taxi tried to pull the “it’s not open yet, let me take you to a nice tailor first” scam and when leaving the Golden Palace to go to the reclining buddha a tuk-tuk driver tried to use the same scam.
After eating some McDonalds we started lollygagging in the MBK mall which is a regular mall that sales fake stuff, its amazing.
Almost missed our flight to Phuket but arrived with minutes to spare.
