MJ, to answer your question about where is a laid back island with laid back prices... I must say I found true paradise on a little island in the Andaman Sea about an hour or three by ferry from the southern Thaiand coast (depending on which boat you take), named Koh Lipe. Absoultely gorgeous and everything is CHEAP. The most expensive rooms on the island are about $50 U.S. and most are much cheaper. Giant beers are a buck and an entire meal with appetizers and all for two was around $12 and the food was damn good! Like Culebra, they often run out of things and the water and electricity have their moments. That's all part of living a long way from the mainland. I know it's not in the Carribean, but I had to mention it. I just hope too many people don't discover it. Everyone living there is afraid of becoming the next over developed island like Phi Phi or Phuket. Well worth a visit if you're into the laid back island life. Check out pics here:
