We need for year to see a nice beach same before.
Good night.
Wellta"
By the way, and without wanting to make free advertising, i recommend Wellta's services. She does a very good job and is very reactive when you send her an email and can find very good deals. (I have rent a villa in Nai Harn garden resort for almost half the price they mention on their official website), so if you are looking for a quiet and nice place, she can be very helpful.
