Went for a ride on the bikes today...there was suppose to be a "bikefest" down the road apiece, so we figured, since it was such a nice day (and the gods only know how many of those we have left!) we'd take a scoot and see what the skinny way. Great ride, crappy "bikefest" - not many bikes and not many vendors. We did, however, find a great Thai restaurant! Interestingly, when we went inside, the waiter asked if we were members or had a reservation - to both questions we replied, "no". He then informed us that in order to eat there, we'd have to join - the price of the "membership"? $1.00 Seems that the house-converted-to-a-restaurant only had one bathroom - which was against the rules for restaurants. So, in order to "sidestep" the law, the place was a "private club"! I am now a proud, life member of the Bloomin' Thai Phuket Club!
