Grab a taxi to corner
My favourite wave in Khao Lak-Taxi's/a long,fun right surfed only at high tide.Similar to Three's on Waikiki.Surfed Taxi's with Matt and also alone.
Second favourite wave is Corner.A long,fun left similar to Butterbox in Sydney.Maximum crowd-5...Surfed low to mid tide.
Thanks for everything Matt and Anny and I will see you next year....

No surf in Jan/Feb
Surf only on the west coast of Thialand May through till Oct, it will be flat as a lake over Jan and Feb, you can go to Koh Samui as that coast will get waves that time of year, if your lucky, nice place to visit anyway and it wont cost you much, have a great one
