Dr. Negus, Peter Merkel, & others, visited island of 200+ acres off coast S. of Pattaya, about 2 1/2 hrs. drive + 3/4 hrs. boat ride.

In boats lod- Delta private center arrangement, hoped to establish colony of gibbons here. I think island suitable, tho a little dry & trees shorter than usual gibbon habitat. About 1/4 mile offshore near Thai naval training school; pleasant area. Many more islands in the general area - single rocks to 1000 acres +. 15 December 1965.
