"Sai Khao beach in Sattahip" Where exactly is this. I find Sattahip very difficult as I keep being waved away by the Military. Does anyone know which beaches you can get to and how? Preferably show on a map. Thank you. Peter

When you are coming form Pattaya, Sai Khao beach is before the military base. There are military guards at Sai Khao, but you just have to get a pass from the small office before the checkpoint. Those midget military police will try to flex their muscle when you park to get your pass and return it by directing you here and there and telling you where you should park. A bit arrogant, but they gave up when I combined Dutch, English, German and French into the same sentence and I kept telling them I was off to Pattaya and smiled and laughed at them. Finally they got fed up and walked away!

When all else fails when you are trying to find Sai Khao or any place in Thailand, have your lady stop and ask a motorsai taxi for directions. If they know where it is, you will have a 50% of finding it. If they don't know where it is, they will still give you directions and you have a 100% chance of getting lost!
