Southern Lanta Resort Hotel Koh Lanta Ko Lanta

... rather (she looked it up on the net in one of her rages) to tell them off for making such revolting medicine!

Anyway, we were picked up in a luxurious van after two nights to take us back to Kantiang Bay were Anne, Ziggy and Remi had been holed up. We daren’t mention the luxurious hotel!

So we slowly got back into the swing of things.

Ziggy had been bugging Tim for a “big night’ at the bar and so one night when we had a couple of Samsong shakes ...

... is very much an event for locals rather than tourists - it was brilliant. Everyone has stalls outside their houses or shops selling little bits of food or drinks and it was just the most perfect evening. We had a couple of beers outside the local Hammock Shop. [This has given me a business idea - maybe set up the Hemel branch in Marlowes where Zavi used to be. good idea eh?]. We ate from the stalls, I had a lovely chicken satay ...

... of excitement to report. We were then picked up and later got some of the vegetables for the night too. We went to a resort that had a pool right on the beach, as we were told by the driver Nuey we could get a drink and swim there. Which we did but immediately someone came running out and told us to scram. Bugger. So we slowly walked back (Bobby didn't want to start cooking again upon return hehe). We just lazed (again) and had lunch. The thing with befriending the chef is we can ...

... beach and in a hammock, before deciding to go for a walk to view neighbouring beaches as we were getting Itchy feet, lacking any choice in our paradise! In order for us to truly relax, we felt we it needed to be a choice, rather than the only option (we didn't even manage to find decent books to read)! So we decided to move nearer to the "action" and discovered gorgeous beach bungalows at a place true to its name - Sanctuary. After ...

I ended up staying in a place just outside of Krabi called Ao Nang, which is one of the thousands of beaches lining the coast. My bungalow ended up being quite far from the actual beach, which to me, completely defeats the purpose of a bungalow! It was nice overall, aside from the 15 minute walk multiple times, every day, I guess I can't just lay there and do nothing EVERY day. Actually ...

... The Beach" was filmed., which was gorgeous. Got to go snorkeling and swimming too. The weather changes quite fast... on our way back to Krabi at 4 pm the clouds rolled in, it got dark, and it started pouring ... we were all laughing about it until the boat crew began to pass out life jackets. We all made it back perfectly fine and no worse for the wear.. to say the least we'll be taking it easy today... tomorrow we are off on a 10 hour drive to cross the border into Malaysia.

... Thais were there as well, and they bathe in their clothes, usually. We wore bathing suits. 2. Nature Trail. "Informative jungle walk in Thung Theo, the last major area of lowland rainforest left in Thailand, and rich in bio-diversity." It was fairly informative, and very beautiful. A few km, I don't remember exactly how long. This was in the Khao Nor Chu Chi Lowland forest. We mainly walked along wooden planks through the jungle. 3. Emerald ...

... a simple manner of a five minute hike. This was a bit of an understatement as getting there required negotiating a very long section of rocks that were either as slippery as ice (coated with low tide slime and grime) or sharp as knives (as Jeff found out when he put his hand down for balance and came up with a number of bleeding cuts). After the 10 hours of travel it wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but we did manage to make it without any further injuries. We ...
