The sea is safe and ideal for children. During the week it is very quiet while during the week-end it is visited by Thais wishing to get away from the hustle of Bangkok. There are many day trips. The famous Death Railway and many temples, historical sites and national parks. You will find Thailand very friendly and shopping is cheap.
Golf is first class, up to international standard and very reasonably priced.
Cars or motorcycles are available for rent and taxi's are cheap. So there is no excuse not to go out and explore. You are a short walk from 3 major hotels who will let you use their excellent pool facilities for a small charge. 3034 Edgemont Blvd., N. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
