Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He maha nga takutai whakamiharo o Thailand, e rua ranei. I muri i nga mea katoa, he whenua e 2,000 maero te rohe. Kei reira te Moana, i te motu o Ko Phi Phi Lee, i whakaaturia i roto i te kiriata 2000 i runga i te pukapuka a Alex Garland me te whetu a Leonardo DiCaprio. A kei reira te kokoru onepu iti i Khao Phing Kan i roto i te Phang Nga Bay uber-whakaahua. Ko te Khao Sok National Park tētahi o ngā ngahere hōu tawhito rawa o te ao, e taea ai e koe te tūtaki ki ngā elephant i tētahi o ngā puni pai ake. E mōhiotia ana te motu i tēnei wā ko James Bond Island, e taea ai e koe me tētahi hoa te tū tuara ki te tuara me ngā patu whakaaro, e whakahua ana i te tirohanga mai i Te Tangata me te Pūoro Koura o 007 (Roger Moore) me te Scaramanga kino (Christopher Lee). Engari ko te raru ko te nuinga o nga manuhiri e kowhiri ana i Thailand mo o raatau hararei o te ra, te moana me te onepu e hiahia ana ki te noho me te kitea i nga waahi rongonui o te whenua. He iti rawa te tini o te tangata, hei kī atu. Ahakoa te mōrea o te āhua o te tangata hīkoi, e hiahia ana ahau kia noho mokemoke, kia kaua rānei e whakaekehia e te rau o ētahi atu tangata hīkoi rā, ina kei te hararei au, tae noa ki te wā e kore ai au e awangawanga. Mēnā ka rite ki a koe, ka aroha koe ki te JW Marriott Khao Lak. Ā, he mihi ki ngā rerenga hāngai ki Phuket i runga i te Thomson's Dreamliner, kāore koe e whai wāhi ki te hopu i tētahi rerenga whakawhiti mai i Bangkok. He tino painga. Mēnā kua rere roa koe i mua, ka kite koe i te rerekētanga - he nui ake te mokowā, i te taha nohoanga me te taha katoa, he matapihi e taea ana te whakaiti, he nui ake te hāora me te whakamarama pai ake ka pai ake te haerenga. He haora noa iho te haere ki te raki mai i te taunga rererangi ki Khao Lak, e 90 meneti rānei te tawhiti mai i te nohoanga nui, ā, he mea ātaahua, o te tūruhi o Patong. Ko te JW Marriott Khao Lak he tino rangatira, he ata noho, he takutai ataahua hoki, kaore he tini tangata. Ka pono ahau, kāore au i tūmanako ki tētahi wāhi whakangahau tino pai. Ko te JW Marriott Khao Lak, he tino ātaahua, he tino marino hoki, e 250 ngā ruma, me ngā wāhi katoa e hiahiatia ana e koe mō te okiokinga tika me te whakawātea, ahakoa...
