We appreciate flooding will have gone, but are slightly concerned about the general state of Chaweng, as we are travelling with our 4 year old daughter.<br />Any information you can provide would be appreciated. We are not looking to cancel our Thailand trip but may consider re-locating further north....<br />Thanks<br /><br />AngelAngelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-35276893362906014382011-04-04T21:36:18.514+07:002011-04-04T21:36:18.514+07:00Hi Jignesh,
