Walked along Dongtan Beach from the chairs where I sit on the beach...opposite Tuis Place Hotel.

Some changes seen...

.....The beach 5 baht toilets are being completely rebuilt...long overdue. And no sight of "5 Baht Mary" who for many many years collected the fee to use the toilets...or 10 baht Shower.

.....The Room Club Hotel next to Tuis Hotel...appears to be Closed

.....The former Bondi Hotel is still Closed.. Sadly. and for sale at 42 Million Thai baht.

.....The beach vendors are still Closed every Wednesday...for cleaning the beach...but in fact NO cleaning is done according to vendors...
