Trang province, south of Phuket, has an interesting original name "city of
waves".  There's a large shallow area between the mainland and a large
island.  When the conditions are just right (or wrong), there are 'surprise'
waves everywhere.  I was fortunate enough one time to have a wave build up
right beside me (and not on me).  There was a turtle in the face of the
wave!  I looked at it... it looked at me... I smiled... it dove... I smiled
for a while longer!   A short while later, a wave built up beside me and
there was a Portuguese Man-o-war in the wave... I didn't smile... I paddled
rapidly in the other direction!

Cheers,
Dave
