The islands and beaches are probably the #1 reason why so many people go to Thailand. In fact, haven’t seen so many people with blonde hair since I was in Northern Europe! Last night the boat dropped us off directly on the beach (after moving to a smaller boat). Most of the accommodation on the island is small bungalows or villas. I was staying in one with a nice view of the ocean pushing up against a rocky shore. It was a quite nice place, since were was air conditioning, hot shower, and a flush toilet. Everything you could ask for in Thailand!
