If you're not there to worship I think an hour really is enough to read about Buddhist history, go inside and watch the monks, walk up to/around the Buddha, go inside the Buddha, look at the views and observe cats cleaning themselves (especially between their legs) in front of sacred artifacts. We took a taxi there and back for equiv $30 AUS. Hiring a car or motorbikes would have been so much cheaper but we're on holidays so we're lazy.
The afternoon was spent in the day spa - otherwise known as sweet Havana (I've renamed it). At the beginning of our 4 hour package (which cost $60 AUS) we got a briefing explaining all jewellry must be off and that Peggy got to wear underwear and I didn't. Then we were asked to shower. Naked shower conversation between Peggy and I went like this:
Peggy: I can't believe they want me to take all my jewelry off
Me: I can't believe they want me to get my clacker out
Peggy: No one will see
Me: Except if there's a fire and we all have to flee to the street. Im sure I'll look a little odd totally nude on the Karon Beach, don't you think? At least you'll have undies on!
Anyway, the treatment was incredible. Best way to spend 4 hours I say!
By night the boys went to see the Muaythai boxing and they LOVED it. There's 3 stadiums and the boys want to the more authentic of the 3, Suwit. Given they both have a martial arts background and came back to the hotel giddy with glee from the experience I'd say anyone with a martial arts interest should go to this stadium.
Peggy and I entertained ourselves that night at Kata doing markets and dinner.
We had insisted the boys go out after to a club so they could come back and tell us what the Thai working girls offered, and how much but they didn't (boo!).
