Koh Lanta
Travel Blogs from Koh Lanta, Thailand
Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is less developed than most of Thailand's accessible islands for tourism. We have the dawn and dusk sounds of prayers from the mosques and the lapping of the waves but little else to break the silence. There is not so much to do here but kick ...
Escaping the Crowds
Koh Lanta was a nice change of pace after crowded Phi-Phi, and though the beach was a bit rocky for swimming, we found Lanta to be a relaxing place to spend a few days. We didn't do much here other than lounge around and take the occassional walk ...
Finally left Phi Phi
... . This morning me and Luke had to catch the ferry at 9am (Groan) so only had couple of hours sleep last night. Were now on Koh Lanta staying in a resort that reminds me of Milky Bay on Koh Phangan. Planning to stay a couple of days until we head South ...
Joh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta
... finally ask us in English what our names were (and they told us they were learning to speak it.) Actually another thing about Koh Lanta was that they have the fewest tourists of all the islands, but they speak English the best. Who knows. Anyway, ...
Chilling in Koh Lanta
... consist of pretty much all of the above! Have fun! I am. Update made on Wednesday 22 December 2004.... A phrase used in Koh Lanta is, "Same Same, but different". That's pretty much how the last few days have been. I have been spending the days ...
Get you Motor Runnin'
... of the road. And if a vehicle was coming at me, I was probably doing something wrong. Koh Lanta was a good place to get my left side driving skills up to speed since it is pretty quiet traffic compared to the other ...
Pee-pee
Koh Lanta was reached via ferry. Once landed we were driven to our resort that was once again situated close to the waters edge. This time we all shared an air conditioned room with ensuite bathroom. It felt a lot less basic than our previous bungalow and ...
Another day in paradise!
... where the biggest decisions of the day are what Cocktail to have or when to have your daily massage! I arrived in Koh Lanta 3 days ago. I got into a bit of an accommodation panic and made the fatal mistake of booking somewhere before ...
Same Same but NOT differnt
... a whole shit load and this stupid ass friggin computer lost it all on me so im going to write it fast, Im on this island called Koh lanta everyone told me to come here because its not run over by tourism, They all lied, IT is its just not as developed so ...
Caves and motorcycles
... , but was well worth it! Bit stressful at first as I have only driven this type of motorcycle a couple times while staying in NE Thailand in a tiny village. But, they are super easy to operate, and the man we rented it from gave me a quick tutorial before ...
Beaches and bottles
The beaches of Koh Lanta 2 hrs South of Krabi are quiet and a beachside private bungalow can be $4 - 50 US. The beach is beautiful and it is hard to imagine that the tsunami 2004 left thousands dead. The tsunami was a series of waves created by a 9.5 ...
Koh Lanta
... eastward, with various islands and the mainland visible in the distance. At night, I went to the Reggae House, a venerable Koh Lanta institution. I didn't expect to see several Thais with long dreads but they were here! On the ...
back to lanta
grrr. so annoyed. just wrote loads for the last few days on lanta. pc throws a wobbly and now i can't be bothered to rewrite it again!!! argh! ah well. it's all been beach stuff i suppose. got the 11.30am ferry over from phi phi - bumping into the 3 ...
can't stay away from the place
18 dec nuvver day on the beach i suppose. weds - we are heading back to phi phi. fri - helen leaves to go to australia. still not feeling ...
Chiang Mai - Koh Lanta
... later and we were seething! It took me over 21 hours to get down here from Bangkok, tired & smelly I was quite relieved. Koh Lanta I was never really absolutely sure where I'd be planning to be on my last week in Thailand, only choosing to come ...
New Year's on Koh Phi Phi
... no burn to prove this, but they seriously appeared to be dangerously close. But don't worry, this is how fireworks operate in Thailand. After another hour or so of sitting on the beach and recovering from those damn buckets, we managed to get back to ...
Another island - Koh Lanta
Ok, ended up pushing onward to another island today. Decided on Koh Lanta as I knew the least about it. It is not really mentioned in my Lonely Planet guidebook so thought it might be worth checking out. The weather still a bit dodgy but have decided that ...
Punctures in Paradise
... , and who are we to disagree. Turned out that the mini bus drove us all around the coast to the nearest jumping point for Koh Lanta and then a car ferry type things takes the vehicles over. The island was much bigger than we had expected and so we were ...
Seclusion
I arrived on Koh Lanta after a more difficult journey than I really anticipated. Needless to say, three ferries, two shared mini-buses, and 5.5 hours later I had safely arrived at my destination on Kantiang Bay. I chose to stay in a more secluded part of ...
sun sun here i come
... pretty full from the breakfast we'd had on the way to the island. back in the water for a second dive then headed back to koh lanta. hit a monster thunderstorm half way back. was making our hair stand on end. dinner at hans so dan could have a steak. v ...
Cheap Living
After the relative expense of Koh Phi Phi, we decided to head to a cheaper island for our last few days in Thailand, Koh Lanta. Waiting for the ferry to leave I got talking to a Thai girl who was there to promote her family's guest house. She expained ...
End of the affair
... back, thank you very much. Unfortunately tomorrow morning we have to leave the island paradise of the Pimalai Resort (and Spa) on Koh Lanta to return to the mainland and, more significantly, to the downbeat life of a backpacker. Oh dear. ...
Last week in Thailand
... so I guess I ought to update you all with what has been going on since the last entry. Last Week in Thailand The last week in Koh Lanta wasn't so bad afterall. Yes, it was pretty quiet while I was there, but managed to entertain myself for most of ...
Off to an Island
CLICK ON PHOTOS AT TOP TO ENLARGE! Catch a boat to another island, Koh Lanta, as I need a break after all that exercise. Meeting up with Paula from the Borneo trip but get to the place they're staying in and the cheapest room is 1200bht(£16!) so ...
Rest and Relaxation at Koh Phi Phi
... , but he said that we had to wait a few minutes as more guests were arriving on the 4:30 ferry, which was running late. (Thailand time again!) About forty minutes later, we found ourselves on the longtail, with eight or ten other guests, as well as some ...
Why not?
... blog, but I'll be trying to catch up over the next few weeks. In the meantime, I'll start with where I have just been - beautiful Koh Lanta. We never planned to visit Koh Lanta. We were in Phi Phi intending to relax post-full moon party, but it turned out ...
Koh Phi Phi
... beaches around the island, where the 'tourist trap' wouldn't be quite so strong - we went to Had Yao (Long Beach) for an afternoon and it was a lot quieter there. We plan on staying here no more than about 4 days then heading to another island, Koh ...
I went to Phi Phi
... they lay you in the crucifix position or something I just don't know. Anyway we soon left Phuket to head for Krabi, then Koh Lanta. Because of our past experiences with minibuses Sheff has made a vow never to travel in them again. Therfore we made ...
It was the best of times it was the worst of times
... to muster anything more than a feeble (probably sinister) smile - another potential future ex-Mrs Turner slips through his fingers??? Koh Lanta is another beautiful island - cheaper and quieter than some of the others - and I have taken the chance to ...
