They were incredibly generous to us. They said it was a one time special deal to help us out. Koh Lipe looks great! I'll have to try it out before people like me ruin it. Thanks for the tip...

So's Samui and Phangan. I go to a few Thai islands every year as I'm based very nearby (I live in Singapore, where flight prices to the region are dirt cheap and I could even go by rail if I wanted to).. and my favourite island right now is Koh Lipe, even further south of Phuket. In Satun province. (They filmed Survivor: Thailand in Koh Tarutao, which is part of the same group of islands Lipe is in.) http://popagandhi.com/703/guess-where/ Just wondering if that chance wandering really did lead to a ‘fraction of the price’ rate for the Sala Phuket — and how much that was? :)

And the prices for food went from $1.50 USD to to $6.00 USD. Still cheap, but not dirt cheap. Maybe it was to our benefit, but we didn't really get to see Phuket outside of the hotel we stayed at. But thanks for the tip. When I go back, I'll have to check in with you to get some details. We hit Rai Lay and Phi Phi, but it was our first intersection with the frat boy crowd.
