Recently I visit it again after I move from there about 11 years ago.
We stay in a hotel at the north of the island and like to visit the big Budha and Wat Chalong.
It was for the whole drive to there, a big traffic jam.
Some 25 years ago, I lived there, on Patong for more than 10 years, but now it was virtually inaccessible because of the crowds, terrible.
