-- Agreed about the weather; after the heat & airlessness of BKK. the
four days on DONGTAN BEACH were most pleasant; while
not a blazing sun it was warm enough and the sea-breeze took-off any excess heat.

Not all that may beach-goers: for example on sun., (
27th.), a'noon.; in the concession in wch. I sit, and wch. has some
150 or so chairs, possibly
50-60 were occupied.
- Chatting with
18YO.
khun Nat* who runs that particular concession, (its beach umbrellas are
blue with
red & white flaps.), - its roughly to the seaward of the AVALON HTL. - and who has
3 or 4 others assisting, on monday he made just
80.Bh. in TIPS., wch. makes my enthusiastic & American friend & I wonder what he'll do and how he'll survive should the concession's owner decide that he's too old, or whatever, to continue working there?
- Plenty of boyz selling DVDs. of various types, (
six for just
500.Bh.),
masseurs &
pedicuristes in plenty,
not so many selling doughnuts, fresh fruits & ice-creams.
- We noticed that the concession to our
RIGHT, (
blue umbrellas with
red &
yellow flaps.), seems to be the center for Twinkie-boys, presumably from various bars, and their maturer admirers - of wch. there appear to be plenty!

NB.:
Khun Nat is straight but v. u'standing., so one can laugh & joke with him about various topics quite openly. Most days he's '
assisted.' by
khun Om who's as camp as the proverbial
row of pink tents & then some MORE.
