Khao Lak 2012

Khao Lak - what a beautiful place. Bitter and sweet. Tragic and Heavenly. It is so hard to imagine that this beautiful place got completely destroyed in 2004. It took the resort owner where we stayed 6 years to rebuild his place Lah Own's Resort. But if this trip did anything to us - since then I do not want to stay in large corporate hotels on beaches if I can avoid it. Here our money goes straight to the local people. Not that the local people who own such places are poor. But if you do not boost the local economy, what is the point - uniform Accor hotels that could be anywhere in the world.
