Thanks for the reply gents. Surin Beach sounds nice indeed and I will check it out on my next tour
. However I should have said on 'Patong Beach' as that is where most of my time is spent. I will go and edit the original post (sorry).
Glad to hear that couple survived the Tsunami ok Syeatman, they were very lucky considering how close to it they were. Btw some roudy looking bunch in that pic, looks like they have it in for that copper. Probably told them they can't drink on the beach and thats why one of them wants to plant the bottle in his head!!
