There are just a few hidden gems left on this planet Man has discovered and conquered just about everywhere….if a place previously undiscovered is remarkably attractive then you can bet in quick time it gets developed and in some/many ways looses its identity
Coxs Bazar on the southern most tip of Bangladesh (about 40km from the Myanmar border) is one such place. It is developing quickly and I hope its remarkable beauty is not compromised in favor of some western flings (Just imagine the emergence of a Mcdonalds or Burger King in the town). In some ways I part of the development given that I am working with local stakeholders (hotels and businessman from Coxs and Chittagong) + the army and Golf Federation to create an 18 hole golf course that can be enjoyed by everyone in the region and the tourists that will (are) travel to the area. I will blog on this in the coming days but for now let me leave you with some pictures with captions of Coxs. Enjoy
-
- Coxs Bazar has one of the worlds longest unbroken beach at 120km long
-
- Fisherman heading out to see early in the morning. This picture was taken at about 6am
-
- The fishing boats are very identifiable and in my opinion very attractive
-
- One of the greatest lessons I have learnt when travelling is to eat local. You are more likely to get sick eating something foreign. In Bangladesh (as with India and Sri Lanka) it is then normal to eat curry for breakfast. This picture was taken on the 5th morning of my stay
