4 - island hopping and snorkelling
... a farm 5 minutes walk from my dad's house in Gateshead! Small world. Whilst chinwagging with said Geordies I almost missed my boat to Koh Lanta! I was hanging around for the go ahead to make my way to the pier and I noticed my luggage had gone without ...
In the beginning...
Koh Lanta was our first destination after a nights stop-over in Bangkok. Days were spent lazily: sunbathing, playing games, and detoxing. We stayed in a beautiful beachside bamboo bungalow with a balcony and hammock. The resort had it's ...
Island living
Our final island hop was to Koh Lanta for some beach time. Our chosen shore had 18km of rock-free white sand and was beautiful. JK and I were under strict instructions to chill out so only organised a few daily activities, including an aggressive Thai ...
ahoy there!
I've hit water, I've hit water!! I finally arrived at the beach. I'm in Ko Lanta, in SW Thailand (near Ko Phi Phi). It's gorgeous - I've got my own bungalow with a hammock on the front deck. The beach is about 30 yards from my door, and ...
Bye to Beach, back to Bangkok
I'm not sure there is much that a week in the sun can't cure. I spent the week just lazying around the Sunflower Resort - a great place to just rest and hang out in your bungalow or in the hammock watching the sun. We played cards till late ...
More Scandinavians and a deserted beach
We headed to Koh Lanta from Rai Leh beach to spend Christmas. James subbed me and Shell so we could get a nicer place after all he was on holiday!! We walked the length of our beach and found the coolest bar and whiled away three hours, very relaxing. I ...
All safe in Koh Lanta
... We went up the west coast of the island and went for a snorkel towards the north tip of the island, near the town centre of Koh Lanta. This was at about 10.30. We thought about stopping here to have some drinks but decided we would keep going around the ...
Koh Jum
... including two little pups. We ended up staying 4 nights there but we could easily have stayed longer. We moved on to Ko Lanta yesterday, which is just a half hour boat journey from Jum. Lanta is a bit more developed and busy, but is still very ...
The day after the day before!
Both Shelley and I were awake at 6am this morning after an unsettled night, each time we moved it hurt. We sat on the balcony and had coffee talking about the day before and how lucky we were. The bike wasn't too badly damaged and nor were we.... ...
Koh Lanta and the last days of Dale
... a bit more that we'd hoped to for accommodation in Koh Phi Phi, we decided that we would look for a cheaper option in Koh Lanta. Like all of the other islands there were several beach bungalows avialble but we decided a change would be good and ...

Last Beach!!
I made it to koh lanta! it was a fucking bad journey to come here, 24 hours of train, minibus and ferrys, but man it was worth it! Asbjorn met me in town, and we got a pick-up taxi to the Last Beach resort. This place is like the closest thing to ...
Meeting up with Simon and Amanda

Koh Lanta, Kaw Kawng Beach
We reluctantly left Koh Phi Phi on an early boat to Koh Lanta which took an hour and a half and ended up sitting next to 2 annoying French women who wouldn't stop singing! We were taken to a Tukk Tukk to our bungalow (it was weird being on roads again ...

Train, Train Bus and Ferry to Ko Phi
... Surat Thani, bus to Krabi and 2 hour ferry to Ko Phi Phi. It is hot, sweaty and compared to the rest of Thailand & Indochina - expensive here. Will probably do a day's snorkeling here and decide afterwards to do my Padi certificate (or not!). I will ...
Going back to Koh Lanta
... flown by again as it did at Christmas. This quiet & peaceful Island is fantastic and I'm sure I shall be returning soon. Although Koh Lanta was not as badly hit by the tsunami as neighbouring resorts it has been affected by the lack of tourists. We ...

Restaurant Service
I realize that in trying to blog about what I am doing everyday (alright every 3 or 4 days) that I end up skipping over some of the 'big picture' differences. Things that are pretty darn different from the United States, such as what you can expect for ...
