Patong Beach Hotels and Accommodation
Stressed out with life
It's 3 am and I am still awake. The rain is beating down hard on the roof as though cats and dogs are fighting up there like there's no tomorrow. Tired but can't sleep, cold but can't move to either turn on the heater or get a drink, stressed but don't smoke. In a little while the rain will probably turn to snow. Then hopefully, I'll be snowed-in unable to get to work. I'll call in and speak to my boss; he's always there though-never late, never absent, never sick and he expects everyone to be like him. I'll show him one of these days, I'll just get up and quit- take a break before applying for another job. God knows I've earned it.
Time seems to stand still as I lay here, 3:02 a.m., 7:30 seems a light year away which is the time I'll be leaving my apartment for work. I gaze across at the dresser beside my bed, there's a travel brochure open at the centre page, must have got given it at the station the other day. It sits there half folded, half opened-selling its wares of beach life, white sandy beaches and the azure sparkling sea that glints to the skies. It reads Palm Fringed Beaches of Patong-13 nights hotel accommodation' the smiling faces of those beautiful people having a great time. White shiny smiles contrasting the back ground of blue skies and turquoise oceans. C-R-A-P. They are not really there though, Photoshop superimposed. Those beauty shots were taken in some dilapidated dingy studio down in Soho London. No, not jealous. 3:06 already. Just goes to show what a brochure of Patong hotels can do for you'
The whistling cabin noise died down slightly as we reached altitude and the flight attendants continued handing out purple orchids-a nice touch. Between the two bottles of mineral water and two bottles of wine, I was able to knock myself out for the nine hour flight to Phuket. And before I knew it, beautiful palm fringed beaches and golden white sands stretched before me. The hotel resort destination of Patong its idyllic beaches and the sight of tiny palm coves and bays inundating the Thai coastline was enough to make me fall in love again. I lay on a hotel sun bed by the side of one of the swimming pools at the Horizon Patong beach and Spa hotel surrounded by the tropical gardens of lush green. Here was like a haven of serenity set back away from it all- a heaven on earth. The hotel waiter brought my drink to the poolside, the birds sang and the forest whispered as a gentle breeze filtered cool air through the trees like one giant green air conditioner. 'Accommodation?' the waiter asked, I looked at him curiously 'accommodation?' he repeated. The words seemed to echo through my mind as I tried to speak but could say nothing. 'Accommodation?' he repeated. A fear gripped me as I tried to form the words. He tried to say something else but the light suddenly dimmed and I found myself back in my dimly lit apartment staring at the words on the brochure Palm Fringed Beaches of Patong-13 nights hotel accommodation' As the clock stared back 3:45 a.m., the rains beat on and I wondered when the snows will come.
