tonsai bay, krabi

I mean look at this picture...this place is so beautiful! It is a picture of tranquility...how can you not fall in love with a place like this?

This is Tonsai Bay, just next to Ao Nang, Krabi which is actually behind me just around the promontary. There a thousand rooms just here alone in Tonsai and far left to the end of this beach is a mountain climbing school. Before sunrise these ardent climbers are already gathered to take their turns and they are so religious about it.

Tonsai enjoys about 60 - 70% occupancy ratio for their rooms which means that every day, you have an average of 600 to 700 rooms occupied. If every room accomodates 1.5 people, then you will have about 1000 people. Each one of them spends an average of RM200.00 per day, so that brings the total earning of this place, Tonsai Bay, to about RM200,000.00 per day! Wow! That's a lot of money!! Now this is only Tonsai Bay. I have not shown others yet. Just the other side of this bay beyond that promontary in the left, on Railay Beach, is a resort with a room at about USD7,000.00 per night! There's a lot of money to be made here...

The more I think about it...and the more we keep coming back here for our holidays, especially now made easier with Air Asia...the more convinced I am about building a home and a business here.
