I’m 50-50 on whether its worth a visit. It served its purpose for me—a place to go to the beach and avoid Pi Mai Lao and Thai Songkran. But the beaches are nothing compared to Australia or ones I saw in Sumatra, or even the beach I went to in Cambodia. But its nice enough… Be sure to at least tour the island and I loved the island hopping tour (bargain even to my standards – $10 for a half day tour). I recommend staying at Zackry’s guesthouse if you are doing it on the cheap. And use the facilities of Holiday Inn opposite and no-one notices.
