The beach here at Karon is rough at the moment. It's surfing season and not good for swimming. So we haven't managed a swim at the beach yet. Yesterday we went to Kata Beach for a swim. The water was lovely and warm but really dirty with lots of rubbish in it. We are so lucky in NZ to have such clean natural spaces. We had our first tuk tuk rides. It was easy and cheap. There are some pimped up ones that C wants to try out. The tuk tuks here are different to the 3 wheel ones in Bangkok.
