Ao Karon

I landed in Ao Karon a couple of days ago. It is a small beachtown
about 30km south of Patong. About 40% of the population is retired
Scandanavian. Reminds me of Brighton Beach back home, except the
tourist and the Thai intermingle much closer. Other differences: It is
tropical, there's a coral reef swimming distance from the shore, and
the massage parlors seem to be legitimate.
