cavanami Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sorry to say, that the little island that I often have slipped away to for several decades, is no more a secret. As I took the boat over to the island the first indications that the secret was out...backpackers! ugggg!! I usually stay at the same little resort as it off the main fare a bit and quiet. Now the island is swarming with tourists, backpackers and loads of the cheap charlie types. They are all renting motorbikes and racing up and down the small roads...there goes quiet... I even heard (but did not see it) that there was a Pizza Hut now on the island. It was Songkran so I expected more people but this is the first time I have seen farang there. In all the years going there, never saw another farang By Thursday, it had cleared out by 75%, so back to normal. Food prices were always high there but good quality seafood readily available. They have doubled the number of umbrellas at the beach and the first day I was there (last Tuesday) every table/umbrella was taken. Before, even during Songkran it had never been over 50% filled. So, bye-bye Ko Si Chang, it was nice while it lasted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
