After a mini van and 15 min speedboat we arrived at the beautiful Coral Island. White sand and the clearest water we'd seen yet. There was only one hotel on the island and after a few steps along the beach we were met by a friendly staff member who took our bags in exchange for an ice cold drink. The resort was lovely, the walk to our room was all surrounded in Jungle and our hut was overlooking the pool..it was bliss. But we soon realised that everyday from abou...

On our last night we decided to check out Banglar Rd which beat anything we'd seen in the seedy stakes elsewhere. There were mainly two types of people, Older western males and young Thai girls, along with lots banging euro trash music, lazer lights, men holding frightened baby monkeys or large lizards and charging tourists for photos and of course the famous ping pong shows which we were asked if we'd like to go to roughly about every 10 seconds.

Quite happy to have the front all to ourselves as ...

Before leaving we thought we'd check out the beach on Ao Nang, the tide was quite high for most for the day so lots of people, mainly German, were there with their reserve-a-space towels. In most of the places we'd been it was usual to hear 'you want massage?' on a regular basis but the walk along Ao Nang beach they stepped it up to a whole new level making it a mission to get from one end of the beach to the other.. After walking the full length we reached what ...
