Mommy had booked the deluxe room (the most basic room is superior) as she had seen that it had an extra day bed in the room, which can be used by papa if ever papa and Kate fight over bed space again (happens all the time at home). However, upon check in, there was no day bed, but 2 extra chairs instead! So the next day after breakfast, we went to talk to the receptionist and they switch us to another room with 2 single beds and 1 day bed. Papa then pushed the two single beds together so that Kate and mommy can sleep together... but guess what? even with that day bed, papa cannot resist the rest on the combined bed for the rest of the trip :P :P :P
This is a picture taken at the lobby. Their lobby has sofa and a few of those day beds for sitting...
Here are some pictures of the 2nd room that we switched to....
Here is a pic of Kate doing what she does often on beds..(taken in the first room).. jumping on the bed...
We then walked to the bed. Kata Palm resort and spa is about 15min walk from the beach. Along the way are restaurants, shops, and 1 7-eleven and 1 supermarket. So basically it is very convenient especially when tourists are advised against drinking from the tap water so we went to buy mineral water from the supermarket and carry them back (the hotel supply 2 bottles of free mineral water everyday but anything on top of that will be charged.)
Despite being monsoon season, it was very hot, and we only encountered heavy rain twice, each lasting less than half an hour! Other showers are just drizzle that lasted maybe 10minutes?
The sand and sea is very clean, and the waves is abit strong. We can see people trying to surf on the waves.
Kata Beach is very short, maybe 1 or 2 km.....
After going to the beach, we went back to the hotel for a swim. It is the only time Papa and kate swam in the hotel....

| Here is a picture proof that now Kate dares to lift her legs up to float using her arm floats.... |
Here is a picture taken from the corridor from the reception to the room. You can see something 'white' on top of the hill just below the 3rd wire... (when you walk on the street, you can sometimes hear the sounds of the electricity running through... zzztttttt...!). That is actually the back of the Big Buddha which we will visit on the 3rd day.
After the swim, we went back to the room and rest but kate refuses to take her nap. After that, we took a tuk tuk to the Dino Park Golf Course. The ride was only 5min but they charged us 100baht. Seeing that its so near, papa decided to walk back after visiting Dino Park. The walk took less than 20minutes but is tiring as Kate refuses to walk again!
Kate does not really enjoy herself as she fell asleep while waiting for 7pm (the time when the lights will be on for the dino park) and then we wake her up so she is super grouchy!
After visiting dino park, we went for dinner at one of the nearby restaurants before walking back. Once back in the air con hotel room, Kate becomes active again and dances on the floor when she realises that she can glide on her socks on the parquet floor! She seemed to enjoy herself most in the room with the tv on!
