air-time wakeboarding's team in Thailand

John is from Wales he took over the resort in 2004 and following extensive modernisation and refurbishment has made Dok Krai Resort a most welcome and relaxing place to take a vacation.

John is the outdoor type taking care of his pride and joy...the croquet lawn, VIP minivan and general maintenance. John is also the story telling type...he really enjoys sitting with visitors and reminicing about the good old days back in Wales, over a few beers of course!
