Does cheap Thailand still exist?

Hellz Yeah!!!  For those of you who are Queens and Princesses read no further… .but.….for those of you who are one with nature, tree hugger, granola, preservationist, animal shagger, physisaphile, nature nut, dirty hippie, I could go on and on but you get my drift and looking to spend $300 a month on accommodations I found your place!
So, while we were out riding and minding our own business, in search of the perfect 'non-tourist' beach we rolled up to the 'Tree House' at the other end of the island (no moped, no get there).  Well, I could no longer mind my own business so I politely asked if I could look at the nice Brits accommodations and of course I also needed to know how much he paid a night…..the nice Brit replied, "5 pounds a night" (9$ Cdn for the waterfront ones)!  "WONDERFUL", I said, thinking 'for the blog'.  The Tree House has just re-opened after renovating their rooms….new bungalows, new mattresses and new mosquito nets…now keep in mind, there is no A/C, no electricity inside, no showers and of course, no toilet…..have no fear, they do have those on the property!
Water front huts - not bad!

Back huts…$1.50 cheaper - decent!

 Arriving to TreeHouse - nice new paved stairs!

 Showers…well not your typical showers….cold water and buckets! Yikes!

Toilet…a.k.a Squatter (my fave)…F@#%* that, I'm out!!!

And yes, we did find somewhat of a non-tourist beach here!  As long as the road stays in rough shape this place will stay quiet and peaceful!
part of the roads to Tree House - good times when riding bitch!
