Thailand Day 14

New Years Eve. We spent the day on the beach by the resort swimming and sunbathing. In the afternoon we took a banana boat ride around the bay with the driver trying his hardest to throw us off.

During the day we also discovered that we had free tickets to the the New Years Eve party being thrown by our resort.

They had spent all day setting up stage, seating for 2 hundred and tables for the buffet. We got free drink and delicious buffet dinner plus entertainment all evening for free. Drinks were expensive so we smuggled cans in from the shop up the road which was open all evening.

Highlights would include;

- Mountains of chocolate puddings
- Wayward latern setting off string of fireworks before midnight came
- Julie skinny dipping after midnight
- Young child trying to sing on stage (awful racket)

We headed for bed about 0100.
