Otres Beach: Perfection

Otres Beach is one of those places that you could stay indefinitely, and you know when you have to leave you will be sad. It is a 3km stretch of beach with two little communities on either end, that just sit on this calm water. The closer one is a bit "built up" than the further spot. If you can call it built up. We are talking huts on the beach. There is power, but it sporadically turns off. There are restaurants and bars, and for all of them you dont need a shirt or shoes for service. Beers are a buck and people are friendly. This quiet part of the Bay of Thailand is also warm. You can spend hours in the water and not get cold. Float, laugh, talk. The water is seriously warm.

My place has eight rooms, and an outstanding restaurant. The downside? Can't find one except this place is half way around the world from home. There's wifi when you want to get in touch and plenty of sun! You can walk along the beach to your hearts content. What a great way to spend a few days.

It's rustic, no AC, no TV. But a hut on the beach is sometimes all you need.
