Here are two reviews of the Viking Natures Resort on Phi Phi Island in Thailand:
“An idyllic hide-away with stunning views and clean, comfortable rooms”
“DO NOT STAY HERE! Worst hotel I’ve ever been to”
One picture shows a beautiful beach with turquoise water and the next picture shows the same beach with trash strewn across it. 
Will the real Phi Phi Island please stand up?
The fire hose of online information is a mixed blessing. Frankly, it was reading other rtw family blogs that encouraged me to believe that we could do this trip. On the other hand, when 8 out of 10 people say that they didn’t appreciate Vietnam, should I consider taking that country off the list? Information paralysis!
One family blog, http://away-together.com/, has the motto of no regrets. I find this to be a wise stance. In eight months of travel, there will be places, people and experiences that make our hearts expand with gratitude and joy. And of course there will be times when we are let down and uninspired. Regardless, whether we love every destination or not, we’ll learn from it and that learning will inform the rest of our lives. So, in good times or in bad, with too much information or too little, I ask, how lucky are we?
In fact, I think that’s going to be our motto, how lucky are we?

You might want to consult with cousin David – he’s been to Thailand at least 3 times and might have some interesting ideas/insights.
