I just came back from Thailand – Phuket for a week stay. Went out to some islands and beaches. Also has eaten seafood dinners almost everyday!
But, the price of seafood is not cheap nowsaday at Phuket, guess that this could be due to they charge the tourist prices. Phuket is becoming more and more expensive, also more properties are built and selling to foreigners.
I think Hua Hin may be better than Phuket in terms of the cheaper seafood prices and not too many foreigners for now. Hope it will remain so for a longer time.
