Magic Mystery Motorbike Tour - how to save 200 baht

Here's how you do it. Borrow a motorbike instead of rent one for 200 baht. Simple, right? So me, Bobby, and EJ set off on this tiny motorbike with borrowed helmets. EJ's head is about to fall off because the helmet is so big! We struggle to get up the huge hill to see the Big Buddha at the top, and along the way we pop the inner tube tire on the back wheel (read: Kim's too fat to sit on the back - see second picture below).




Fortunately there's a mechanic near the top so he fixed the tube for 250 baht (about $8) and we had a nice lunch on the way. The Big Buddha at the top was pretty big, and that's about all the adjectives I have to describe it.


Anyway, we scooted back down the mountain and over towards a new beach, which was also up a huge hill. Half way down, something went POP! so we decided to stop stressing the little thing and go back to the usual Nai Harn. We made it home with no further incidents, but not really sure how we saved 200 baht.
