... or buzz is amplified and is always at your window or under the bed! The second night I bought my self a bottle of rum to power through natures best/ worst. We left Bubu feeling slightly disconnected and ready for a new challenge. Back to Koh ...
Five-star living
Mothers-in-law are wonderful! Or at least mine is, for treating us to a week at the fabulous Pimalai Resort on Koh Lanta and allowing us to take a peek at how the other half live. The luxury started with the transfer from Krabi, which was a ...
Koh Lanta dives
... my whole lifetime. Many people i've spoken to, and in my own experience from 4 years ago to today, have noticed that Thailand's corral and reefs are dying because of too many tourists stepping on the corral while they take a breather from snorkeling, or ...
Finally got off Phi Phi
So i finally got off Phi Phi, shoulda listened to Sandra when she said to get off that island to some place more relaxing like Lanta. I didn't book anything before i came over, got off the ferry, jumped onto a tuk tuk and threw out the name of a random ...
Paradise, bug spray and Christmas
Merry Christmas!! I'm spending Christmas on Koh Lanta, an island in the Andaman Sea at a resort called the Blue Andaman. It's packed with Swede's and British up to it's gills. I'm the only American tucked way in the back in a very chintzy bamboo hut. ...

A first taste of thailand
... to the stunning island that lanta is. Our only regret is that we didn't stop at koh lipe as apparently its nicer then koh lanta. That said i wouldn't take back a second of koh lanta. To everyone wondering what the true thai islands look like still visit ...
An Up Date

Living the dream!
Next stop was Koh Lanta a less touristy and very quiet island south east of Phi Phi and a great place for further relaxation and magnificent sunsets. Our bamboo hut on the beach was perfect. The lifestyle here was addictive and we could have stayed a lot ...
Koh Lanta
... Lanta was great fun. I'm writing this onthe 22nd of December. I'm trying to play catch up with my travel logs (which i have neglected lately). Koh Lanta ended up being much nicer than Koh Phi Phi which was a bit of a dump to be honest, Maybe ten years ago ...
Chilling auf Koh Lanta (21.04. - 25.04.2011)
... hier echt manchmal auf die Nerven gehen... Dann ging es endlich doch weiter mit einem Minibus der uns mit der Autofaehre nach Koh Lanta brachte. Dort angekommen zockte uns der Fahrer weitere 50 Baht pro Person ab (obwohl es anders vereinbart war) - ein ...
Christmas on the beaches in Thailand!! Bliss!!
... ;hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! Mine this year was amazing, although it wasnt the same as a good old english affair! We are in Koh Lanta at the moment with about 10 friends who we have met along the way over the past 3 and a half months. It is ...
Andaman Sea - Just Beautiful
Two hours to PhiPhi Island, then another hour on a second ferry to Koh Lanta. It reminded me of the Edward Lear poem 'The Owl and the Pussy Cat'', all the more so as our ferry was painted a lovely pea green. It's warm and the light breeze which ...
Ko Lanta
Koh Lanta is a lot less touristy! We're staying at a beach side resort in a very cheap but more than adequate beach bungalow. Spent a lot of time in the pool just swimming and relaxing + getting to know some other travellers. The beaches aren't quite as ...
Mmmmm or M%#@*! is for massage
... people just like us, plus a few young families with very well behaved babies. The 2.5 hour ferry ride from Railay to Koh Lanta passed quickly as we sailed through calm waters past those signature limestone islands we never get tired of seeing. ...
Burning up on Koh Lanta & on Florence
... arrived we've cracked the odd 'Chiang where?' joke with each other. Our original plan was to leave Koh Lanta tomorrow and fly to the north of Thailand for another adventure with northern cultures and jungles before retreating to Suzhou. We read up on the ...
The last touch of Thai

Koh Lanta for Christmas
... bar (can't remember its name) and dining at Miami. The days were spent swimming, seafood picnic on a deserted beach, riding to OLd Lanta Town, shopping in Saladin and sipping mojitos at sunset - way to go. But they soon passed and it was vanning it back ...
Long Time and No News – Sorry et Desole
As I sit in this quiet resort sorting out addresses for this blog, I realize that there are several very good friends with whom it has been a very long time that I've sent any news. Surtout mes amis et mes familles en France! Je suis tres desole ...
15 minutes of torture!!!
It has been over 3 months since I last shaved with hot water. Being that currently there is no running water here on my part of the Island and the fact that my whiskers are about 6 days old, I decided to have my first ever straight razor shave from a ...
Farewell Koh Lanta
... ginger - yummo! Tomorrow morning I head off to Khao Lak to do a 5 day liveaboard with Similan Diving Safaris. Kristina will be staying on Koh Lanta for at least a few more days and then probably come up to meet me. Or I'll come back to Koh Lanta and ...
rain
Today is rainy. I'm sitting here under a bamboo roof top eating chicken and rice with veggies... again... and a banana shake. Mmmmm.. so good. Total, about $3.50. Not sure where all the people are, I suppose they're hiding in their bungalows, ...
Koh Lazy

step back to step forward
... was a good idea, but demands too much computer time that I wish not to do right now. Perhaps the best time of day here on Koh Lanta is in the late afternoon when the sun is dropping low to the horizon. That is when you will see more people walking up ...
