Phi Phi Lazy Days
... to some and it may be profound to others, I do not know, but it is profound in me personally. From the poverty in cambodia as an extreme to the growth and couragious outlook of the people in Vietnam, to the people here in Thailand, what an ...
Playstation Bliss
Rob, Ash and Kat had all spent nearly a week on the beaches of Koh Lanta whilst Dave, Mel and myself were north in Kanchanaburi. It wasn't like I'd expected it and having just come from Koh Phi Phi, it was nowhere near being in the same league. The ...
Island Beaches and Caves

Ba doomp, Ba doomp....Elephant adventure
... to pick us up, it was with a converted pick-up truck with benches in the back (this seemed to be the regular transportation in Ko Lanta!) We made it to the elephants and met ours; he was a HUGE bull elephant with attitude. Our mahout even had ...
Koh Lanta
We spent 4 days on the island of Koh Lanta where we met again with a Swiss couple we had first met in Japan. The island was beautiful and more quiet (meaning fewer tourists) than Phuket and Krabi. The scooter was once again the best and cheapest way to ...
Project 330, Week 9
... ; 11/1/12 – Another day, another beach. Finally we had moved on from Koh Tao, and were now on the West coast of Thailand. This is Railey beach, by far one of the most stunning beaches I've ever seen. 12/1/12 – Still on ...
Moving to Koh Lanta

Finishing on the wrong foot
So Ko lanta was a disaster. I was expecting this really cool laid back place where backpackers hung out on the beach and listened to reggae all day. I get there and the Reggae House, where I wanted to stay because they were hosting a big ...
Lazy Paradise
... in different directions after Ko Lanta, so we knew we might not see her again after that, but it was great to be reunited with a traveling friend on the little island. We wish we could have stayed in Ko Lanta a little longer, but onward we must ...

Chilled out Koh Lanta and the Trang Islands

Songkran on Ko Lanta!
... the thais were still celebrating, and it was a pretty awesome night...filled with quirky and strange characters though! My question on Ko Lanta was: where are the backpackers? There's people, but not so much backpackers... I debated for a while whether ...
Perfect Phi Phi . . .
