Hi Battlecat,

Well my experience has been wonderful in regard to theft. Like one gentleman posted, once you rent a beach chair, there are beach boys that are like waiters. They will look out for your things, what I have been told by many is, it is the tourists you need to worry about, not so much the thai's. I dont take massive amounts of cash, but have had my camera and video cam and have never had a problem. Also, there are always other folks right next to you that you usually will chat it up with anyway, they will also keep an eye if you ask. Maybe I've been lucky, but in the many years I've been going, I have never had a problem, beach or anywhere. I spend my days at the beach and usually go to the same area, so have always had the same beach boys. They have become like family, and always willing to help. Hope this helps.

Sunshine...
