Ok for a paddle :) - I surfed Haad rin beach in Panyang lasy reay december. After the full moon parties the beach gets a bit of action. Surf has no power thougfh and gets frustrating when you see a nice 3 / 4ft left and turns out crap. Still worth getting wet and i had fun out there. Going back again this year to do somwe diving and will be visiting again to see if there is a break.Overall - have see more stregnth in a headache tablet :)CiaoMike B
