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 ...
Its not even on the map?!
... 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 ...
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 ...
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. ...

Koh Lanta
... , better food & service. Also a small swimming pool, for those moments when the Andaman Sea just doesn't cut it. We're leaving Koh Lanta, and indeed Thailand (boo! hoo!), tomorrow and our next stop will be Penang Island, Malaysia. More from ...
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 ...
Koh Lanta for Christmas
... and we made our way back to the hotel. After a number of nights out, dining at some of the best restaurants on Koh Lanta, spoiling ourselves with massages and good times we sadly had to say goodbye to Briar and Simon on the 30th December and ...
An Up Date
Hey Everyone Just a quick update, Anita and I made it to Southern Thailand safely after our 11 days in Bali, Indonesia. We have about a week and a half before we head back to the Netherlands, so I'll be working on the travel blogs once we get ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sea, sand and Swedes
... limestone cliffs and white sandy beaches were still spectacular. Having limited time before the departure of our boat for Koh Lanta we chose a beachfront restaurant for some lunch. It clearly catered for the daily influx of tourists and we ...
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
... have less trouble leaving behind. It renews my awareness of our unimaginable wealth and privilege. I will try and keep some of the calm Koh Lanta energy within me as I re-enter my world of work in Mudu. Till the next blogging, love from kate p.s. It ...
