...........and it's also renown as a short-time hotel for Thais with mistresses&mia nois so I highly doubt their food is any good. With hourly rates who is actually going to eat there? Truly you jest, yes?
For anyone wanting to plunk down a decent amount of THB on a good steak meal/bottle of wine, Diver's Inn Ao Nang, across from the McDonalds Plaza and up a little. Moneywise it's the opposite spectrum of the duck noodle soup at Ting, but the owner Jurgen puts out a good steak and a quality wine selection.
Yeah Divers Inn does some good nosh.

Being, the biggest state sponsor of terrorism is not far off.
Ah well that's another question, one man's terrorism is another man's freedom fighting, a lot of people might say the US is by far the biggest state terrorist by far.

Mrs miKT has been away taking food parcels to the poor UK natives and the one Thai daughter (pictured above 7/8 years ago) who now fecklessly chooses to live in a cold and rainy England.
But I wanted to check my memory of said daughter and sisters clambering up these rocks many times when young before posting more.
She laughed herself sick when I asked if they were considered sacred.
I also have a pic somewhere of some other young ladies posing rather rudely over the rock gym.
Not sacred.........End of story.
"I also have a pic somewhere of some other young ladies posing rather rudely over the rock gym."
Sorry I don't believe you, proof please, pretty please LoL

'Cute' ... Wow Mindless Liberals will tolerate anything as nothing matters to them. Immigrants need to assimilate to the laws and customs of the land that they enter.
Yeah cute, you really need to get out more. My guess is you've never been to a Muslim country, you ought to give it a try they are extremely hospitable people and some of the girls are gorgeous and very friendly, if you know what I mean. I suggest Morocco, go to paradise beach, Tagazhout, north of Agadir on any Sunday and feast your eyes, they don't wear bikinis just string LOL

I didn't say it WAS illegal anywhere if you read my post properly - I said "almost".
"name some of these countries that insist western women have to cover their heads then, my guess is you can't name three, I can only think of one. "
"I'll give you a hand, Gaza and Saudi Arabia it's the law of the land" (That's 2) And I've given you another - anyway - who's counting?
The point of the thread (As far as I can see) is about whether it was wrong for the French Muslim lady to be fined for wearing a veil on a beach where it was banned. You obviously thought that it was, and I've answered your questions, how about you answering mine? What do you think would happen if the Muslim lady was in a Muslim country where the veil was banned and she insisted on wearing it? Do you think that Muslims should be encouraged to break the laws of the country they are in if that law is in conflict with their religion?
Well it's been overturned by a higher court now, she will be getting her fine back so obviously the high court thought it was an unjust and stupid law so break it and show it up for it's ridiculousness.

Don't actually see any invasions there as of late, lots of fighting of ISIS as invited allies of sovereign governments, unless you're saying that's a bad thing. As the US is allegedly fighting ISIS, doesn't that make them allies?

There actually was a time when a large U.S. Force was in a neighboring country. We sure shocked and awed them back then.
Yes, Illegally! and just look how that turned out.

For those with short memories, the US Navy sailors were released 15 hours later.
No need to send in the Marines.
Or the Air Force.
Or the nukes.
The effective technology in the instance was the telephone and the rapid action team were the US SecState and the Iranian Foreign Minister (who has a Ph.D. from University of Denver).
Most fortunately, Donald Trump wuz not CinC (nor will he ever be). President Obama and former SecState Clinton don't have wild and crazy supporters either.
" President Obama and former SecState Clinton don't have wild and crazy supporters either."
Oh my! I do hope that's sarcasm.

Enough already! What colour is black today? The point is that the French Muslim woman chose to wear an article of clothing on a beach that was ILLEGAL - OK! And one of your original comments implies that breaking the law is to be encouraged and even admired:- "Of course and contempt for it hopefully."
"In many Muslim countries it is illegal to wear the veil in certain places" so what would the punishment have been in one of those places if the French woman had "shown contempt for the law" and chosen to wear a veil? I think the 11 euro fine (?) would have been trivial in comparison!
Going by your comments, you are either a Muslim, or a Muslim sympathiser, and in certain places that might almost be classed as "illegal", but I believe you are entitled to your opinion, the same as anyone else. However, you appear to be changing your stance more often than Muhammad Ali, and our dialogue is pointless if you keep changing the goalposts.
Where is it illegal to be a Muslim sympathiser? and where am I changing my stance?

Covered in blood? Give me break. The kid probably deserved it. Now watch the evangelical nut cases come out of the woodwork to scream teacher abuse.
I'll give you a break, your nose for a start, your support of physical violence by a teacher on a young kid is reprehensible!

I've already said I'm not prepared to do any more digging around just to prove my point or disprove yours. The point is, that if it is the law or the custom of the land you are in, you should respect that, and this French Muslim woman obviously didn't.
And by the way "in fact in many countries it's illegal in places." your quote - not mine, so basically you are agreeing with me!
No! what I'm saying is, in many Muslim countries it's illegal to wear the veil in certain places.

"In the southern communities of Iraq, especially in Najaf and Karbala, hijab is compulsory."
And that was just a quick search - I do not intend spending much more time on this except to say that "when in Rome etc etc etc", and
if I go to enter a temple in Thailand where it is compulsory to remove your shoes - I remove them - no problem.
If a Muslim lady in France goes to a beach where it is compulsory to not wear a veil,burka - call it what you will and she deliberately wears one - she should understand the consequences , pay the fine and get on with her life having learned a lesson in her (presumably) adopted country. If she was born there, then she should have known better!
Oh please, is that the best you can do? That is not the law of the land, I don't doubt out in the sticks in many Muslim countries girls have to wear the hijab, that's cultural and illegal but impossible to enforce. I'll give you a hand, Gaza and Saudi Arabia it's the law of the land but in the vast majority of Muslim countries it is not compulsory, in fact in many countries it's illegal in places.

Good, so what Sect / branch is at work in France name it, because over there muslims have no idea, they just call it Islam and go to the nearest mosquee to get in touch with imam, who mot of the time don't speak French.
To be more clear I want to say that traditionnal islam.. soft one if you want is slowly replaced by harder one.. pushing more and more to another level, using all kinds of techniques to reach their goal.. you can name them, it's "the islamic brothers". But in the mosquees you will never been shown wich part they are from.. it's just Islam.
"Some reject Islamist Violence" => make me laugh.. have you read the coran ? difficult to be FOR this book and being Against Violence, it utterly nonsense (many like to say this.. so I use it too !)
Have you read the bible, be difficult to be FOR this book and Against Violence.

The hijab and the advancing in female covering to the point of being a burqa... is Islamic subjugation of women - PERIOD... Leftists and Liberals would not tolerate any such behavior if the Christian Religion forced women to wear something akin to the hijab. The Leftist Media would go berzerk damning the Christians...
In the over all - women in Muslim societies around the world - few have the option to not wear the hijab. It a Mullah in one Islamic country issued a fatwa declaring that women were not required to wear the hijab .. .in a year's time (should such an fantasy fatwa stand) the majority of women would take it off. The requirement of wearing of the hijab is not found in the Quran . Rather it is found in the ever increasing male domination and subjugation of women in Islamic societies - without any foundation in the Quran.
The French Government feels much the same as I write and moreover see that the forced wearing of the hijab is used as a symbol of the dominance of Islam over all other peoples and governments...
Thus such symbols of Islamic dominance must be struck down in Western Societies ...Are you serious? it is not compulsory in the majority of Muslim countries.

Seems you and 20 others at the moment have no idea at all, name some of these countries that insist western women have to cover their heads then, my guess is you can't name three, I can only think of one.

I worked in Dammam, Saudi for an oil company. If any female employee who were all placed in Dubai came visiting?? They were given a hard time by immigration, hotel staff etc, so company flats where purchased. They needed to have male employees nearby at most times.
So Western women had to abide by local laws and customs. Then DITTO for non, Christian women coming to Europe
So one example from the looniest country on the planet, good one.

I lived on the beach near those rocks in the late 80's and was there in the early 90's too. I lived there with Thai artists. People were always walking over and around those rocks-tourists and Thais alike. I didn't know they no longer allowed you to climb on them. It's too bad they have become such a "thing". They were quietly respected and it was wonderful to just come across them. I guess the amounts of tourists-Thai and foreign alike going to see them have grown so much that they have decided to put more precautions around-and it allows entrepreneurial people to make money at the same time :-)
They served mushroom omelets in those days too and we smoked ganja pretty openly...
Things change.......
Those were the days, things change but often not for the best.

I can see why nobody's answered you so far, your requirements are tough to match, actual beachfront hotels are probably on Ao Siew, Khlong Muang and Tub Kaek, on the other hand I imagine Ao Thalane to be best for Kayaking but not sure any hotels are on the beach, it's been a while since I was there and things change so quickly. Have a good google, good luck it's a beautiful area.
