KJ944,
I believe the beaches of the Arakan, from Cox's Bazar * south, are the most beautiful in the world, and begging for development as tourist resorts (the Malabar beaches are pretty good too, but little known except Goa).
Note *: Who was Cox and why is his 'Bazar' remembered ? Nobody knew (then) - but Wiki does now:
...The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from Captain Hiram Cox (died 1799), an officer of the British East India Company. Cox was appointed Superintendent of Palongkee outpost after Warren Hastings became Governor of Bengal...
Never saw the beaches (except from the air). Was in a Mobile Field Hospital there for a few weeks.
