Peggy's Cove Resort...Thailand?

Quote:
Iconic Peggys Cove recreated at resort in Thailand

By Lisa Blackburn, CBC News Posted: Jul 07, 2016 2:11 PM AT

Peggys Cove is a familiar sight to many, in and outside Nova Scotia. A beautiful coastline dotted with colourful homes. Wharves jutting out into the ocean and an iconic lighthouse stretching up into the sky.

Peggys Cove can be found at the edge of St. Margaret's Bay.

Or, alternatively, at a resort on Chanthaburi, Kung Wiman Beach in Thailand.

That's a little... um... strange.

Though perhaps flattering as well, depending on how you look at it.

I think it's a stretch to call it a recreation though.

That is really odd. Though I suppose it's not much different than having a mini version of the Eiffel Tower in Vegas.

And to be fair, in certain parts of the world Peggy's Cove is actually one of the most well-known features of Canada. When I was in Greece if I told people I was from Canada they'd either say "Toronto?" or "Peggy's Cove?"

The 'Disney' version (I know you love that term)...
