I went down to Surin Beach this morning. Nice view of the sea, not more than 10 foreign tourists who, like me, stayed no more than 5 minutes because there was absolutely sod-all to do. No food to buy, no drinks to buy, no seats, no deckchairs, no loungers, no umbrellas, no tourist souvenirs, no restaurants, nothing, nada...

Still, nice view of the sea.

Sounds good to me. Especially the number of tourists.
