Drove down there t'other weekend for a break from Beirut.
Hired a truck off a dodgy thai bloke for 800 baht a day. Had to pay a 500 baht fine on the drive down because the sods tax was out of date and I didn't have a proper licence. It came with a heavy metal pole under the seat for free though.
Ferries leave about every hour from 'Centrepoint' and take about an hour to get to the island. 500 baht return for 2 passengers and the car.
Found a resort to relax at for a couple of days called 'Cliff Resort' at Kai Bae beach....
Beach hut:
Spent the day doing fvck all at the clifftop pool...
Nice view from the pool...
Then drove up to Whitesands beach which seems to be the livliest and had a few restuarants set out on the sand... There is a beach further south where all the backpackers head towards which might get livlier I reckon but I'm too old and boring for that nonsense now.... Even have a disco down that way called 'Vitamin Disco' which sounds very healthy...
Scran at night...
There are some good roads for over the hilly bits ....
Next day lazed about on the beach and went to some floating shopping arcade that I can't remember the name of...
Resort next to the shopping bit....
Nice place to do nothing and watch the sunsets...
And be romantic on the bed with a girl of your choosing...
Next day was elephants...
The end
