Early risers!
I wonder if you guys have had the same experience as me? So one morning, I wake up to take a piss. I realize it's still before sunrise so I walk from View Talay to the beach to see if I can take some decent pictures. I was expecting a pretty empty beach but instead, I was shocked to see a LOT of people just sitting on their mats and talking! Of course, they're not early risers; surely they got off work really late and instead of going to sleep, decided to chill with friends on the beach. In fact, I met a really nice Thai guy who told me that he has a bar that OPENS at midnight (& closes around 7 am) and that his regular customers are people who get off work late at night. Anyway, I was really surprised when I saw so many people on the beach before sunrise!
