Atmosphere
A really great spot when it's good. The locals are really friendly and it's a great atmosphere. Not including the airfare, a super cheap and enjoyable vacation!
Thailand is very unique. People are friendly. The land and the climate is beautiful. The surfing aspect is not like Hawaii anyway it is pretty good and interesting territory. Going there one time in a life is compulsory!!!
