Advantages: Medium Size, Pool, Good Staff, Trips, Beach Disadvantages: Sea Wall, Rough Sand, Green/Green Decor
This review is based purely on our holiday to LilyBeach Island Resort in February 2005. We were a bit unsure about this holiday whether we were going or not due to the Tsunami 26th Dec 2004. I would like you to spare a thought for those who lost their lives in such a tragic event and those who lost everything they owned.
There are many different islands offering many different holidays. For a impartial view on all holidays I suggest you buy RESORTS oF THE MALDIVES by Adrian Neville

Advantages: Might learn something about Buddhism Disadvantages: Written in dialect, hard to read
I bought this book a couple of months ago after reading a positive review in a magazine. However, there was something slightly important that the review left out. But first;
'Buddha Da tells the endearing story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process'
So all sounds good, I was interested in this because I recently studied the Dalai Lama and found Buddhism and everything surrounding the DL fascinating. The book arrived, nice looking cover, 344 pages so not too long, then I read the first page.
Now, I read A LOT - but this totally threw me. The book is written in Galswegian dialect, here's an example;
"He'd dae anythin for a laugh so he wid; went doon the shops wi a perra knickers on his heid, tellt ...
Advantages: Pretty scenery, shaded areas Disadvantages: Need to take a tour to see it really
Myself and my girlfriend visited the Magic Buddha Garden whilst in Thailand on October 2007.
We visited this attraction as fair of a Jungle Tour, where we visited several attractions in one day while travelling round the island and we paid £20 each for this trip which we thought was very reasonable. Some of the roads you need to travel on to get to this attraction are very bumpy so I would assume that you will need to hire a 4 x 4 vehicle if you are wishing to travel here without a tour. This attraction is marked on all the tourist maps so it would be easy to find.
Inside The Garden
The Buddha Garden is set within a valley and inside you will find statues of mythical creatures, statues of spirits and of course, Buddha statues. There is a waterfall which runs through the middle of the Buddha Garden and lots of trees and vegetation ...
