…………….is a Thai restaurant in Halifax that Andrea and Andrew introduced us to that we’ve really enjoyed on several occasions.   Maybe that’s what drew us to the resort we are staying at which is just called ‘Chaba’ and of course we’re in Thailand.   We flew from Siem Reap to Phuket and because it was a late flight we decided to stay at an airport hotel……..and of course there’s nothing exciting to report about that!   Up early so we could plan the day and find a place we could hang out for a while so we didn’t want to rush things and end up somewhere that we would have to leave in a couple of days.  After  reviewing the Lonely Planet guide, and the Internet, we decided to check out Kata beach which is about 30km from Phuket.   It didn’t look  like as much of a tourist trap/party place as some of the others so we thought why not?   Good decision on our part because it’s a wonderful place and has been easy to settle into.  Chaba is a great resort that has friendly staff, great rooms, three swimming pools and garden………….and a white sandy beach which is a five minute walk away…………what’s not to like?  Well actually just one thing……..we might have to move as they are solidly booked next week…………but they seem to like us and have made note that we’re wanting to stay if there’s a cancellation……..we’ll check daily!  This is where the blog will get kind of boring because there won’t be too much to say except “another great day at the beach, weather is fabulous, food is great, working on our tan, fell asleep reading my book, went for a walk on the beautiful white sandy beach, went for a swim in the ocean and then went for a swim at the pool, had a cool one, then a nap, went for a Thai massage etc. etc. etc.”……..you get the drift and by now you’re probably asleep…..so I’ll quietly say “good night” and touch base in a few days if there’s anything to blog about…….take care.
