Thailand Trip - Day 9: Railay
Got up late and, over breakfast, played chinese checkers for the first time since I was little. Around lunch time we rented a kayak and paddled over to Ao Nang. Ao Nang has a long, straight beach with a prominade running along it. There are many resorts, restaurants, street stalls and older people. It does not have the atmosphere of Railay.
We went to an Italian restaurant for lunch. Tim ordered a "vegitable" and cheese pizza. It turned out that it came with salad where Tim was expecting what we would normally get mushroom, olives, capsicum etc. He refused to eat or pay for it and got in an argument with the owner, neither backing down. In the end he did not have to pay. A minor victory but a victory none the less. It is hard not to get into a seage metality, us verses them. The best thing to do is laugh about it and realise you are not the clever and others will be scammed too.
