Was at the World Ecotourism Conference held in Laos earlier this year and there was a presentation from a Professor from a UK university who had just conducted a similar study (different location) but with much the same results.

I would be really keen to hear more about you thesis on Koh Pha Ngan. I am thinking of doing some research on it myself.
