Still one of my favourite getaways. First time was 1991 and wow, it was pristine. We had the place to ourselves. No resorts back then and just family bungalows on the beach. We haven't been since 2020, a week before lockdown. We have been there around 15 times over the years and will never tire of it. There are several other quieter spots further down the island where we prefer to stay. Thanks for the video👍🏻

Wow I bet it has changed since '91! I would have liked to have seen it then. We still enjoyed our stay even with the crowds, and did manage to find a few quieter beaches. Hope you guys get back there soon! Thank you for the comment! 🙏 👍

busy but beautiful

Cheers, it was packed in the main beach and strip but luckily you can still find quieter beaches around the island.

It was pretty busy mate but still quieter spots you can find. 🙌

EDIT: We got the speed boat back to Rayong (booked the slow boat but it wasn't available on the day) the journey was actually fine, was just under 10 minutes and not too bumpy!

Hope you could visit us in Jakarta Indonesia..mate..❤ Edwin😊
