The sun is out and its scorchio!!!! So not much to report other than waking up late, lazing on the beach, swimming in the sea, eating in our room to save money and then out drinking with the locals and other tourists, so thats why we wake up late, then laze on the beach, blah blah blah!!!!! hard life we have!!!!! We have been learning the lingo!...

Ko Lanta is chilled. It's family orientated; couples, resorts with swimming pools, a long island with no particular density of bars, clubs and restaurants. For all who come here, it's a great place to relax. The main (most northern) beach is beautiful and only 10 mins walk from the Salat Dan, the main port town. Only two days were spent on Lanta...

See 'richworld' and 'danstravelworld' for pics and their stories, toooooo. Back on Ko Lanta and back in routine. Sunbathing, swimming, beach volleyball, great food, the occasional drink. It was strange to be on the ferry from Krabbi and seeing it so empty. Although it's open for business, people are still staying away which could cause more prob...

To get back to the mainland and back on track for Malaysia, we decided to take the ferry to Ko Lanta after meeting a guy on Phi Phi who told us that his family would be re-opening their guesthouse for the first time since the Tsunami that day. Again we could only afford to stay one night but they were a great family, really friendly and we spent...
