| The Beach. Im a beach person and always on the look out for places where there ain't to many punters. This place took me back to when i was living on Koh Phangan in the 80's and its been along time since I've been able to find some thing similar. Once again the trick is to be there outside tourist season and we were lucky with the weather. Bloody wonderful it was. ![]()

| This is a beautiful photo taken by the GF. This photo was taken standing on our balcony and as you can see we near on had this place to our selves. This was taken 3 weeks ago and the monsoon was due in November. All the dive shops where closing down and getting ready to head back to the mainland till next February. We took our chances with the weather and hit the jack pot but we deserved it for making the effort to get here. Anyway, thats the last photo for tonight and ill be back tomorrow night to throw up some more. ![]() |

| 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. ![]() |
