    We stayed at the moonlight bungalows and it was a good choise.

    These bungalows are located on " Long beach " and i highly recommend them.

    Bloody lovely stuff old Tez, but I suspect the spray paint shit on the front of your shack would have pissed you off, loving every post of this thread

    No alcohol.

    Because of the strong Muslim influence in this part of the world none of the bungalow complexes sell alchohol. Its not a problem, as there are bars located on the beach. The Muslims don't drink but kill themselves by chain smoking cigarette's all day.

    Our friendly next door bar run by the Rasta boys.

    It was really strange, as you had these Muslims running the resorts and the Rasta boys with dreads down to there arse cruising around the place. "Whatever."

    The dive shop attached to our bungalows.

    As you can see, things are still very layed back around here and i suggest you get down there before things start to really kick off. I feel once they finish the piers they will be bringing in the package tourists and things will change quickly the same as the Thai islands have.

    Looking into the dive shop.

    I was very bloody happy to have found an island that is still at the very start of mass tourism, but it surely cant last much longer. They are also just organizing reliable 24 hour power , then you will see the big resorts start to take over and at the moment there is only 1 large scale resort on this bay.
    All the rest are small scale family run bungalows the same as when Samui was in its prime.

    Some of the better accommodation on long beach.

    There still many small A frame bungalows and very cheap basic bungalows on this beach. Not many rooms that have air con and even less with hot water.

    We went snorkling from this boat and the weather was perfect.

    This is a brilliant deal and we paid 40 ringit for the day. There was only 6 people on the boat and we snorkeled with turtles, reef sharks, huge tropical fish amongst pristine coral . For lunch the dude took us to the local village and we chowed down on fresh squid . Bloody wonderful day and we went again the next day as well.

    Wash it all down with a super shake and the cost was minimal.

    The sneaky photo position.

    This is my favorite position for snapping incognito sneaky photos of stunning looking dolly birds, and its a winner every time. . In the background is Long Beach where we are staying.
