Its been a while since the last post and so much has happened since. When we left Bangkok we had planned to stay in Patong or Kata beach for at least a week before looking at apartments. On the bus ride down I figured i'd look onilne and get a head start and ended up finding a place in Rawai beach. I'm so glad I looked as i found a great space on the southern tip of the island at a really good price. We are about 1000ft from the beach away from the tourist madness that Patong and Kata/Karon beaches have. We've got a balcony overlooking a farm and even a motorbike to cruise around the island with. We even have a kitchen with a kettle and electric stove so we can try our hand at cooking some pad thai.
