Doesn't Make Sense

"Ko Yao Yai is significantly larger than Ko Yao Noi due to a lack of (basic) infrastructure in some areas of the island."

The island is larger because it has less infrastructure?202.82.171.186 22:38, 3 December 2009 (EST)

Hi Jpatokal,

I am georges cortez. The text about koyao noi was indeed copied from koyaobay website. I am the owner of this small resort. I think there should be no reason to take it out as it gathers the most effective information about the island. Apart of small business activities I am a gratuate social anthropologist and I worked many years about south thailand linguistic, ethnic history plus plus many other researches... Please let me know why you have deleted this info, it can be used as I am the original writer of it. A previous version posted in 2001 on Koyao Island Resort website ave been used and rewritten on many commercial websites since then.

Keep me posted

Best,

Georges

Great! That's what I wanted to hear. I've restored your text, please do feel free to fill in information on your resorts, any interesting restaurants or attractions, details of getting there and away, etc. (WT-en) Jpatokal 02:32, 4 February 2008 (EST)

Excellent, Jpatokal, and thank you. I will contribute further (when I have time!) as I live on the island and can provide many more info about flora, fauna, culture, tourism of course, etc....

Cheers!
