On the Beach
"Thailand's emerald islands are laid-back, idyllic-and
coming to a multiplex near you. Will these pristine archipelagoes
survive Leonardo DiCaprio and company? As shooting wraps on
The Beach, Douglas Cooper reports from a paradise on the brink
of stardom."
Here's an exerpt from the article:
..."take a taxi to Tamarind Retreat, about twenty minutes
away in Lamai", to "a gorgeous day spa. Here you
have a choice of traditional Western and Thai massages, as
well as herbal steam treatments. The walls are an ocher stucco,
the massages are offered in an open-air rotunda, and the soundtrack
is an obligatory New Age Fusion of local flutes and blissed
out Euro-pablum."
