Packed and ready to go
|
As expected, we arrives here well before 12 having left at 6 am. Of course, we were too early to check-in so sat on the beach and had a drink whilst watching small crabs scurrying across the sand and lulled by the sound of the waves rolling majestically over the beach. The Gulf Coast of Thailand is under the influence of the North-East monsoon at this time of year which often means that the weather can be variable and the area is especially prone to heavy thunderstorms. The weather was initially fine, however, and we sat on the beach, Ann reading her Kindle, and both of us enjoying a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc in the warm sunshine until the clouds started to build over the sea promising the oncoming deluge. As the wind increased, we stoically remained in our seats willing it not to rain but were eventually forced to retreat albeit briefly before the sunshine returned.
We didn't know what to expect of Maliblues but on being shown to our room, we were delighted. Bright and clean with lots of windows and the most fabulous of sea views in every direction and right on the beach. At 1500 THB per night, it is not the cheapest option but we considered it to be well worth the money. The restaurant serves thin crust pizza and it is amongst the best we have ever tasted for around 250 THB.
