But I did enjoy being away from all of the hawkers, taxi cammers, and hordes of western tourists so prevelent in Samui/Phuket. And I enjoyed the fact that, for Thailand, the beach was clean, the people were genueinely friendly, the small resort I stayed at was charming and affordable, the food was great and it was inexpensive, there was lots of very good golf courses nearby, etc. etc.

Hey, different strokes ....
