^ That's all I'm saying keesh.

I just think it's a shame that people who like the state of how pattaya, samui and large parts of phuket are now don't just go to those places and a NATIONAL PARK like samed isn't kept like it used to be.

I mean, the THEORY is that's what you pay your 200 baht for, right?

Samed used to be great - a peaceful haven within easy reach of bangkok where the room prices were affordable on a teacher's salary. I suppose that combination was never gonna last.

Sorry, but I just don't get the compulsion to 'get around' the island. I mean, it's trees skirted by sand which is skirted by the sea.

Anyway, no more peace and quiet for 300 - 600 baht a night.

Now to get peace you're gonna have to pay circa 3,000 baht a night to stay at some swish, isolated place.

And then some more to tear around the island like a loon.
