Maak Daddy

We love this place - our own tropical paradise. Our little bit of last-minute research from our brief trip to Beijing paid off, as we are settled in to the nicest (and cheapest?) resort on the island - after stopping by most of the others on our amble today.

"Suchanaree" is on the north (quiet) end of the more secluded beach of the island. Nin, our graceful host, couldn't be more lovely - and she's a great cook. Having only 6 bungalows means it's so much easier to get to know the other residents - including the (in)famous Gary, the resident Northern Irishman who's settled in for the last 5 seasons. Watching Nin and Gary is like some kind of comedy act, as she finds him jobs to do. Our bungalow is on the beach front, is larger and cleaner than the one in Koh Chang, plus it doesn't have a fruit bat in the rafters or an in-house wood munching insect troupe providing an all-night soundtrack! We're going to stay here for 5 nights, to include our 1st wedding anniversary. After this we speedboat it back to the mainland in order to catch the 10-hour minibus to Angkor Wat. After that... well, we'll let you know when we work it out!

Namaste!
