Ko Lanta


We got a long boat onto a ferry and after a beautiful journey, marred only by a German making a nuisance of himself, arrived in Ko Lanta. We stayed one night in a great hut on Khlong Khong beach, but the beach was narrow and rocky and not condusive to the relaxing beach holiday we had envisaged. We did however have some great Thai food and our first taste of Ko lanta was seen through the kerosene fumes of fire dancing set to some good old fashioned Scorpions rock. The next day we headed onto Khlong Nin beach where C&S suggested we go. The week was taken up with a bit of sea-bathing, a bit of sun-bathing, a bit of beer and a lot of good food. For the first time we were really able to relax and feel like we were on holiday. The following day we sat in the sun and had a beer and some good food... you get the picture. we finally managed to drag ourselves away about a week later and headed in-land to Khao Sok National Park in an effort to get away from beaches and actually see some stuff.
