.So why even bother to go there in the first place .
To me ,on a pre Covid
visit it was the equivalent of going to
Lands end , offering nothing that I could not get at costal resorts far closer to Bangkok.
I was totally shocked by the prices of
tuktuks, Internet cafes, food, etc etc
which were at least 50% more than
Pattaya, Changmai, or Huahin.
That’s the reality and I doubt anything
has changed especially with the few bars restaurants that still remain open
as the owners will be trying to recoup
their losses from the last 15 months
of this devastating pandemic.
