Fugitive and former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra recently issued a statement, congratulating Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi on her freedom after spending 15 of the last 21 years in detention.
The statement also said that the Burmese junta made the right decision

Thaksin Accepts Reasons for Detaining Suu Kyi
The Irrawaddy - December 13, 2004
Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra says he understands why the Burmese government continues to hold opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest.
Speaking in his weekly radio address, Thaksin said he found the reasons given by the Rangoon government for Suu Kyi's continued detention "reasonable enough and convincing."
Thaksin raised the issue of Suu Ky's detention when he met the Burmese leader Sr-Gen Than Shwe during the Buddhist conference in Rangoon last week. He said Than Shwe had told him Suu Kyi remained under house arrest "because the last three times that (she) has been released it would always lead to difficulties."
Thaksin, speaking on Thai radio following his return from Burma, noted that "there was always political violence and turmoil following (the) two or three previous releases of Aung San Suu Kyi."
Thaksin also said he thought it "necessary for Myanmar's government to have political stability
I have commented elsewhere on this.The comments made by Thaksin in 2004, sickening though they are, (his latest comments are just sanctimonious) are not untypical views of key elements in the Thai establishment - ruling politicians, feudalists,aristocrats, senior military and corporate.A key strand is that Aung San Suu Kyi is not really Burmese at all (i.e doesn't understand Burmese culture) and that democracy is in any case a chimera.Politicians are corrupt and only the army can provide integrity and security.Essentially for these delightful people Burma provided a vision of Thailand as they would dream of - a thuggish, Buddhist, army dominated totalitarian state (sustained by a fairytale), where the people knew their place (and those who objected were cut down violently).

Perhaps the owner has changed recently I haven't seen the owner of IVC in quite some time) but I've known the original (Thai) owner of Island View Cabana for 20 years and have always found him to be pleasant and polite. Perhaps he doesn't like litter on the beach. Perhaps the visitors use their toilets and amenities and never bother to pay. Just curious if you asked him why he didn't allow Thais and if you are certain the owner was the man in question as I was under the impression that he has had a manager for a few years now.
no change, still the same family, and he is a nice guy, only he is taking care very much his place!! And this place is a very nice place. All bungalows were built "new" last year. The front beach bungalows go for 1000- 1500 in the high season and the rest of the year you can easy bargain with him. You can still find easy a bungalow on his site for 400 Baht. Always good service in the restaurant. This beach is also for many tourist "the beach to go with the bike etc. It is my beach too, for a beach day
After all changes it is still a cool place to go. Nobody get stopped when coming with his thai wife or a thai husband.
You get some pictures on my web site! Just scroll down to get to the link (small pictures) "go cabana"
