Caro had noticed a large outdoor restaurant area yesterday so today we decided to go for supper there. Located a block or so from our hotel after turning right at the road (before we had usually gone left) it is an easy walk. I mentioned yesterday it was hard to find a liquor store however we spotted one on our way to eat (more later on that).
The Ao Nang Outdoor Landmark is a large eating area. Containing about 150 tables it has DOZENS of places to buy many types of food. The idea is that you get your food and take it to the eating area. Once you sit down a waiter/server appears from somewhere and takes your drink order (beer or pop). Super efficient.
This photo was actually taken after we finished but I note that Caro is having ANOTHER beer-LOL. We are sitting near the front and behind is a live singer (pretty good one).
I started with something called Japanese pizza……PIZZA !!! It has to be good, right? See photo below
Actually it kind of sucked. Not good.
Caro, on the other hand, spent a FORTUNE- probably $C15 (LOL) and got a huge plate of seafood. It was pretty good .
We took a photo of a small part of the food stands where we made our choices.



On the way out we stopped for a couple of minutes to watch the tail end of some kind of Kung Fu type demonstration.
We stopped at the liquor store. We noticed they had sunscreen (not cheap at about $C15 a tube but necessary here). A funny thing happened that we laugh about (especially Caro).
When I went to pick up the sunscreen (which was placed in a tray with MANY other tubes of sunscreen) I accidentally touched a second tube as I picked out my purchase. Just like knocking over a domino, I accidentally started the others falling over Oops!!! FUNNY! Of course the lady a the counter gave me a sour look.
Liquor is very expensive here. Bottles of booze can be way over Canada prices and there is a limited selection here (IMHO).
I found a bottle of some kind of liquor distilled in Thailand at only $C8 a bottle for a mickey. Substantially cheaper than the other options.
Actually it is not too bad!
Today was a great day. We are winding down our trip now with only one more tour planned (in Bangkok) so I imagine there will be pool time in the next few days.
