ceecookie SG

3D2N is sufficient.In fact its the longest u should stay there since not much to do there.

Sea activities and shopping.Former i.e diving

the Bear SG

it's a beautiful place.. but i can't help coz i went there many years ago..

go there to vege out and enjoy the days of having nothing to do..

i would like to go there again Very Happy

TehJarVu SG

i also went there many years ago

i remember there is a mountain/hill to climb and see the view from the top

but the climb was a bit scary

i loved the food there, cheap and fresh and nice...

the Bear SG

oh yeah.. it was long before i had a camera...

one of the funny things was that in straight roads, the speed limit was 40km/h.. and on the windy hilly roads, the speed limit was 45km/h Laughing

Lol..juz an expression lah dey.

the Bear SG

seriously, go there with no plans, nothing.. and enjoy yourself..

it is one of those vacation spots where you go there to do nothing Smile

SpecOps87 SG

wat bout money wise?

the Bear SG

i dunno.. all we did was spend money on beer and eats Laughing

ceecookie SG

We also hit the mountains with a bare 4WD(actually a AWD)...and ended up stucked for 2 hours near evening.

Frankly,if TS like to offroad,he can rent a cheap Suziki Carribean and hit the trails

I was there very very very long ago and stayed at this resort. The water supply was from water tanks, so sometimes when you turn on the taps, a millipede will turn up. Laughing And the beach was kind of full of sticky icky crude oil, remnants from a spill I guess.

MARK1992 SG

lol go there maybe can see the “Meet the parents” cast

SpecOps87 SG

Hmmm…okay.Thats cool, will definitely try an AWD. But what about flights there? How much do they typically cost? Any other carriers other than BKK air?

ditzy SG

What?!?! Theres an airport there? The last time I went, I had to take a boat. Laughing

the Bear SG

now i think it's a jet...

when i went there, it was a propeller plane.. i think a fokker or something like that Laughing

SpecOps87 SG

Lol...must be damn loooong ago eh?

ceecookie SG

its not a laughing matter to be stuck deep in the forest with the only aid kms away and no one nearby. Rolling Eyes

I seriously do not advice AWDs unless you really want to be as in Lost
