Beachin and BBQin

Today we had Thai class in the morning so in the afternoon a group of us went to a gyros place for lunch. Shoutout to Mario for coming from Russia to open up the joint. It's just what Pattaya needed! After, we got on a songtaew (Thailand's version of a tuk-tuk) and headed to the beach. The ocean water had TONS of algae so I was covered when I got out of the water but it was definitely worth it to swim on December 16th! Our apartment in Pattaya is located near a main drag-- we always take this drag to the left. Tonight we took it to the right instead and happened upon this little gem of an eatery called Sumo Buffet Bar BQ. It was an all you can eat buffet for $4. We loaded our plates with chicken, pork, squid, prawns, liver and more and then cooked it all right at our table. The chicken was by far the best while the beef was definitely questionable. To top it all off, there was ice cream for dessert!
