Oh yes I remember now - it was (maybe still is) called Channel Street. Hard to believe that there wasn't much there a couple of years ago and now the place is a large sprawling expat housing estate.

channel st is actually the main road with raha beach on one side and kca etc on the other...... as it goes along the main channel that was the public beach before they decided to build firstly the hotel on it and then close it off completely to develop it into raha beach etc. no i am thinking of the road green 12 i think which is the outer road up by the polo club etc. but yes when we first moved "off island" everyone's reply was "do you need your passport?" and some people still say the same to this day.

Darn it, I was hoping it was the backbone of a grand textile industry that has since past.

At least it isn't a mass grave for all the construction causalities.
