Off to Ko Samet

I will be out of touch with the world for a few days while I go for a little vacation on the Thai island of Ko Samet. Madame Piyanart (Thailand debate guru) hooked up a place at SIlver Sands.

Here is the write up I found:

Silversands is the biggest of all establishments at Ao Phai beach, but still small. They got maybe 20 huts lying directly above the beach and they are very cheap. There is also a small pub and beach disco there, the only at Ao Phai, but it is still a calm place and very good for relaxing vacations of a few days when in Bangkok Hot off the wire!! Silversands has, according to my friend who came back from Koh Samet last wednesday gone through a major renovation. All huts now have TV on the room and a clean, nice feel about them. At present they cost 1000 Baht per night. (aboutUS$22 today June 5th 2004)

I'll file a report from Kuala Lumpur when I arrive there.
