Beach day.  I'm burned, Skunk's stomach is worse, if anything.  He's on the anti-pooh tablets but still suffering.  

In the evening, we took the hotel courtesy bus to Patong.  It's a big bustling town.  We needed to find something safe for Skunk to eat and Karen wanted to go to the Hard Rock so that's where we went even though it's not somewhere I'd ever choose.  

After there, we hit the Bangla Road.   You can't really come here and not, can you?   We managed not to witness any ping pong tournaments.
