Beautiful sunsets, Ban Bang Ben

 dabuwan Says:  Because of its location on the western Thai coast on the Malacca peninsula, the sunsets are especially wonderful, as the sea goes down into the Andaman sea and the colours are fantastic.The deserted beach setting makes the whole thing even more fascinating.Unfortunately...
