We visited Phattalung for Chuen's mother's birthday

A lake is being illegally filled in Phuket
- does this mean that there is a legal way?


"Over 9,000 chairs, stacked in rows up to seven deep, were on Patong Beach when the Gazette counted them in mid-February.
The number of chairs, though astonishing, is not a violation of Phuket beach chair regulations, which do not specify a maximum. The number of rows, however, is."

- okay?
- where are the beaches where there are no sunbeds?

Tattooed body washed up on the beach believed to be a foreigner

- does the tattoo make a difference?
