Unfortunately, at first the weather was a little hazy, but still not bad. Didn’t rain much at all during my roughly one week stopover, and when it did it was only short but heavy.
I liked it here on the small island. Well, let me see, how should one imagine it to be, maybe a little like Phuket 15 years ago but with everything being a little smaller. The island is quite mountainous and even though most of the roads are good or amply developed, believe you me; they are full of bends and sometimes extremely steep. Sometimes a jeep can only travel along parts of them in first gear.
The island is very small, thereby so mountainous that the following applies: Somehow one has no distant view, apart from when directly on the beach of course. One either has mountains in the way or jungle, oh yes; it’s very green as well…. I wouldn’t like to get lost in the jungle because it is defiantly full of creepy crawlies, probably everything one can imagine…. Good that I didn’t go on a jungle expedition, but only to one of the places of interest directly on the beaten path. And of course to the bars.
Yes, there is defiantly night-life here on the island, just to name the ‘main beach’ called ‘White Sands Beach’. It’s not really all that necessary to bring ones own bit of stuff along, no problem picking one up here, even if one does have to look around for a while with services such as the bars in Patty down Soi 6 not being offered by the score here. Well, it is the province so what should one expect….
