Another one saying that those were the days. Did they have electricity and cars?
I cannot speak for 8 years ago.
But I first spent time there in 1996, 3 months as it turned out.
There were no paved roads and only generators supplying electricity until 10 PM. And then everyone would hit the sack.
Very few cars, only a few pickups. Song Taew.
I just went to visit the island with my then 4 year old son, but somehow got stuck.
I wasn`t the only one. Most farang visitors turned out to be longtermers as well.
We got to get each other very well.
In fact I am still in contact with several of them.
I have revisited a couple of times in recent years. 2-3 years ago.
I still find it nice, just in a whole different way.
