Rayong, Thailand -- The right side of Samet consists of wide bays with



white sand. The bays are longest, the sand finest and whitest. Hat Sai

Kaew - known to westerners as Diamond Beach, is the closest to the

mainland. The mile long sweep of bay has wide sand backed by palm trees,

and on the promotory is a temple with a large Buddha statue. This beach

is popular with day trippers, and with those staying for several

nights. It is next to the small fishing village and several shops and

restuarants. But mostlt its sand is perfect. It's consistency is like fine

talculm powder. It squeaks underfoot. The water is shallow and warm, and

crystal clear.

But as you walk south along the narrow path linking the bays, you come

to bay after bay, all perfect in their own way. They become more

secluded, and smaller. The sand is dappled with fallen leaves and at the

water line you sometimes find strange fish. I can - and do - sometimes sit

for hours on these beaches, listening to the breeze in the trees, the

soft murmur of the waves, and the plop of fish jumping. Every now and

again is a loud retort as a coconut falls to ground, or the screech of a

bird. Evernow and again someone will walk past with a nod and smile.
