Ko Lanta Travel Blogs

Kun saavuttiin Ko Lantalle niin kaikki muut paitsi mina oli kipeina. Jokaisella eri taudit ja kaikki makoili sangyn pohjalla pari paivaa. Sukeltamaan oli tarkotus menna ja suorittaa Advanced Open Water kurssi. Ryhma alennus oli niin tuntuva ettei mun kannattanut yksin aloittaa sita. Muutamat paivat…

We realise we are just one step away from living on this island...BUT we thought we'd come back for one last time...just to show the boys HOW GOOD IT IS! We spent the following 3 days enjoying the last of the sun before returning to the inevitably bad weather of Oz, eating posh meals…

The trip over to Koh Lanta was a little hairy to say the least. All kicked off with a longtail boat journey on to the ferry... imagine 10 elephants squeezing into a mini, and you get the idea of how cramped it was! Wasn't the calmest of days either so it was a miracle that neither a passenger (prob…

Well, more like the peak of high season.  At least that’s what they keep telling us.  After a 14 hour bus ride from Bangkok to Krabi, a 3 hour wait for our late late LATE ferry and another 2 hours on the water, Sean and I arrived at our Christmas destination:  Koh Lanta.  Need…

Today was a day to relax and enjoy the trip.  Make no real plans just do what feels right.  I decided to walk south on the main road from were the side road that I was staying on is.  Pretty much more of the same and maybe a little more spread out.  There are are a few restauran…

After we cam out of the private property, then we take a drive round the island. The road on the east side of the island is under construction and that is time to test out our four wheel drives. Yes, it feels good to at last use the four wheel drive on the car. We had no chance to use it for a long…

City Centers, morning markets, night bazaars, Wats, delicious Thai food, wonderful people, new friends, the North and South, waterfalls and crystal beaches.

they say the universe works in mysterious ways, but i think if you make an effort to fine tune your cosmic detective skills, the clues are fairly easy to read - and following them to the 'master plan' (which usually bears little if any resemblance to YOUR plan) - sniffing out the fruit that the mas…

After booking another Snorkling trip (this time to Ko Rok, recommended by Karolien and Sina) I did nothing more than hanging around on the beach, reading a book, drinking cocktails and lying in a hammock. In the evening I went back to the last beach to watch the sunset and have another good night w…

Trip to Thailand 2003-2004

Once you get out of Bangkok, Thailand is a beautiful country full of friendly faces, nice beaches and good partys. I stayed in the south visited Koh Phangan, Krabi, Railey Beach, Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Phuket. I found Koh Lanta to be the most relaxing, laid back. which was a very nice break after the full moon party and all the crowds in Phi Phi. Koh Lanta also had the best swimming beach in my opinion.

After the madness of Koh Phangan and the masses of people, I decided I needed a break. I also had a flight to catch from Puket when my Thai visa expires so it was a good idea to move to the west coast. My entries tend to disappear or become much less interesting when I hit the beach, the main rea…

Kahden tunnin venematka Tonsai Beachilta ja ollaan Koh Lantalla. Mina ja Mikko oltiin kipeina, niin paatimme ottaa oikein mukavan huoneen. Yllatykseksemme loysimme hyvan huoneen kohtuullisella hinnalla: tilava huone, erilliset sangyt, ilmastointi (ensimmainen ilmastointihuone talla reissulla), kuum…

New Year, we called Pian who was on a holiday in Ko Lanta and asked him to check whether there were rooms available. He said there's one and he would hold it for us. So, on New Year 2007, we took a van to Ko Lanta. The van trip was confusing, almost awful. We had to shift 3 vans before reaching Ko …
