i think that enjoying Tonsai would require me trying really hard to ignore some realities - the swathes of ego driven w@nkers that seem to land there and then bang on about their path to self discovery and the second rate infrastructure that has been set up to make them feel like they are in paradise (at the same time as trashing the environment - sewage being pumped straight into the jungle, piles of smahsed up asbestos sheeting, the pile of rusting nonsense left behind by the on cliff weddings, im sure you saw the piles of garbage either festering or being burnt, the obsene amounts of polystyrene piling up next to restaurants and people banging on about how bad it was yet still using it - awesome)...

i would love to love the place - the topograpy is pretty damn amazing - but just cant ignore that people's 'week in paradise' seems to be coming at a pretty high cost.

in the ten year gap between my first and last visit i could see that one snorkle site had gone from amazing to a wastland of dead coral.
