Take a hat
by kyoub
It is good to take a sarong along with you on day trips. You never know when you will need to be properly dressed to visit a temple. Be sure to take along plenty of film or memory cards. Must haves are sunscreen, a flashlight, your prescription meds, and an extra pair your prescription glasses. I learned the last one from experience.
Seafood on the beach
by biawak
Lots of barbecue seafood places in this area. Some have their own websites! Be wary that when the place is busy, prices skyrocket and quality sinks. Always ask for big discounts when the beach is empty. The food is also much better when there's less people around. At night, the wet sand comes alive with millions of surfacing tiny clams. During the day they seem to be underground.
