I am the original poster. From my knowledge. I heard through research that the place was having fiancial issues. It was sold to a Thai businessman, name unknown. This I believe happened this past summer. Skip is gone, where I do not know. Sean is still there. It was Skip I dealt with for my 3 month stay feb. 2006. The new managers name is Kenneth Miller, he is the one who wanted to triple my rate. If you check there website there rates all around have gone up dramatically. Whether a business is sold or not you have to honor past confirmations at the agreed upon rates. I feel when you
buy a business you assume the good and the bad.

Former marathon runner, surfer, skier, mountain climber,traveller, supporter of the Tibetan cause, parent, husband, and now dying of ALS, my wife and I are on my last tour of SE Asia for 3 1/2 months. I hope all can experience the wonderful people in this part of the world, as I have over the years !

Living the dream.......with the drama
