Hi Diana,
Once on Koh Pha Ngan, there are numerous taxis that will take you to Mae Haad Bay. The nearest town is Thong Sala. The page at www.breath2000.org/directions.html has been updated to include more maps. There are seven different resorts that we are using and reservations are being spread out between them. Six of them are directly on Mae Haad beach. You are reserved at Royal Orchid Resort,106/12 Moo 7, Koh Phangan, Suratthani 84280, Thailand. They do not have a website but they are featured on several local websites like www.phangan.info/royalorchid.
They have a telephone though I use www.skype.com . Internet usage is five cents a minute and skype is two cents.It is important to add funds to your skype account before you leave home. If you have an unlocked quad
band mobile phone, you can purchase Thai sim cards for $15 and the international rates are cheaper than land lines. In Thailand, you can buy unlocked second hand mobiles cheap if you don't have one If you want to really stay connected, you can forward your skype account to ring on your Thai mobile phone.

Could you give Wendy and me some specifics about the location and accommodations of the Thailand Retreat.From the travel chart it is 1/2 hour out of Thong Sala. What is the name of the town where we will be? What is the name of the lodging? What is the address? Is there a website? Telephone? Is there a beach nearby - what is it's name?We want to feel comfortable about where we are going and how to find it.Thanks,Diana
