I had a breakfast at SAILS RESTAURANT and had a coffee at ANDAMAN LOUNGE as well as yesterday.
Then, suddenly I heard a bird screaming nearby and found this invader!!



We didn’t give anything and finally he/she went back somewhere silently.
Because he/she was walking, the photos were jiggled though, I was so happy to see a peacock at an extremely close range!!

Because it’s windy than yesterday, I saw waves at Karon Beach.
But, I really fear the rip current and I went to Kata Yai Beach again!


When I stopped to smoke at a balcony in my room, a same bird?/kind of bird? at ANDAMAN LOUNGE yesterday appeared.
So, I gave some snacks I had brought from Japan and he/she ate them up and went away.


When I went to the rental beach bed store I had rent a beach bed yesterday, MYU (15 or 16 years old boy) remembered me because I told him yesterday I would be back.
So, he prepared a beach bed at a similar location where I used yesterday and asked me if I was Okay?

Around 4:30PM, cloud in the offing of Kata Yai Beach was becoming dark and underneath the cloud was also becoming foggy.
I thought it might be a squall and I came back to the beach bed.
Then MYU stabbed a finger toward the cloud saying “Look!”.
I asked him “A squall is coming?” and he said “It comes in 10 minutes and continues about one hour. Will you stay here?”.
So, I said “I’ll go back. Thank you for everything!” and shook his hands because I had to return a surfboard to “Tokonatsuya” around 6PM.
Though the squall didn’t hit Karon Beach and my hotel, dark cloud flowed to Kata Yai Beach.


I joined Happy Hour at ANDAMAN LOUNGE as well as yesterday after washing and shower.
MAT(So cute!! Looks like AKB girls) , a staff at the lounge was kind enough to become friendly and allowed me to take photos and upload them to this blog.
She is so caring good lady and if you want to see her, go ANDAMAN LOUNGE at HILTON PHUKET ARCADIA RESORT & SPA immediately!!!


I had a dinner at THAI THAI RESTAURANT in the hotel.



This is tom yan kun with no fresh coriander. It was very delicious at the flavor of marine products, and moderate hardness!


This is pad thai. This was also very delicious at seasoning seemingly the puffy thin noodles of rice are [ seasoning ] soy sauce of just right sweetness!


The most delicious thing is this Poo Phad Pong Ka Hri! The crab was cut into chunks, and it stir-fried in curry sauce, and entwined beaten egg fluffy to finish. Because it was really very delicious, I would like to eat again absolutely!!!

I had a breakfast at SAILS RESTAURANT and after that I had a coffee at ANDAMAN LOUNGE.
At the lounge, suddenly a bird appeared and he/she wanted to cookies served with a coffee.



Secretly I gave some crumbs of the cooky. Then he/she gazed at me like saying give me more.
So, I said “No more!” in a small voice and he/she seemed to give up.


Well then I enjoy surfing at Kata Yai Beach today too!
So, I made a phone call to Natsumi at “Tokonatsuya” and asked her how to handle my car key.
She gave me a useful information most people seemed to prepare a small bag in order to put into small change and the key of the car and then rend a beach bed at a rental beach bed store on the beach and placed the bag under the towel on the beach bed.
I tried it and it was really nice because I was able to have a break using the beach bed between surfings and replaced lost water from seaside store easily.
ขอบคุณครับ, Natsumi!!
BTW, 100 Baht for a beach bed whole day and 30 Baht for a canned juice.

When some stopped motorbikes were obstructive in the parking lot of Kata Yai Beach and I was in difficulty on parking my car, a local surfer moved those motorbikes for me though those were not his own motorbike, and also he taught his friend had said today that waves at Kata Noi Beach were better. ขอบคุณครับ, the local surfer!!

Because I had made a reservation of rental surf board at “Tokonatsuya”（http://www.tokonatsuya.com/） from Japan, I visited “Tokonatsuya” to bring the board and collect information for surfing.
At there, Natsumi, staff of “Tokonatsuya”(beautiful lady!) taught me that the rip current of Kata Yai Beach is weaker than that of Karon Beach.
So, she suggested to take a look at Kata Yai Beach on my way to the hotel and showed me the way to go.
Then I took these photos at Kata Yai Beach.


Yeah, the wave size seems from chest to knee and it is preferable to me! What’s more, there are many parking places for free!

I came back to the hotel and had a late lunch at CAFFE CINO in the hotel.


Sandwich and frozen coffee. Frozen coffee was yummy!

Outside of my room.


Because hotel staff told me I could get to Karon Beach from here, I checked out wave of the beach.


Karon Beach is so beautiful and less people. This must be perfect for sea bathing of couples.
But, this is solo trip and unfortunately waves are small and I really fear the rip current.
So, then I decided to go to Kata Yai Beach!

When I visited Kata Yai Beach, I couldn’t find out any place for storing car key.
So, I asked various people around the beach and finally I stored the key at the reception of Kata Beach Resort and Spa close to the seashore though I didn’t stay the hotel.
ขอบคุณครับ, elderly woman at the reception! ขอบคุณครับ,everybody who helped me!

Because two and half years to the day since I stopped enjoying surfing, I didn’t have enough physical capacity.
So, I came back to hotel around 6PM, washed towel and wears, took a shower to remove sands and joined Happy Hour at ANDAMAN LOUNGE located at the lobby of the hotel.
I was interested in the name of “Phuket ?something? Island” and ordered the drink.
Then, a cocktail using a whole pineapple was served as a glass and I was so amazed!


The atmosphere of ANDAMAN LOUNGE is like this.
It was pity for me I did know I was able to use Wi-FI for free at the lounge.
