Koh Phra Thong Island

Miles and Miles of Golden Bhudda

Originally uploaded by Aishihik

Koh Phra Thong is an exceptionally gorgeous island in the Andaman Sea with miles and miles of pristine white sand beaches, a plethora of birds, insects and jungle plants including large areas of savannah on parts of the island. Local people in the villages make shrimp paste, fish and harvest cashew tress. Golden Buddha Beach resort is an eco resort that practices low impact tourism on the island and provides extra employment. This was an extremely relaxing place to spend a bit of time relaxing, reading, eating great food, and listening to the pound of the waves and the song of the cicadas.
