Ko Lanta

The weather has been overcast and rainy during my stay in Ko Lanta but this has not stopped the fun. On the ferry I met Carmen (from Mexico), Siobhan (from England) and Petra (from Slovenia). They have been my Ko Lanta travel buddies and we have had some funny times :) First at the Pier with the people surrounding us trying to get us to their guest house it was madness. We went with this really funny guy Handy to the guest house he works for. The pickup ride to the resort was long but full of jokes from Handy. We were entertained by him and his friends at the resort. They had the craziest sense of humour ever (it may have been how much they smoked though giggle giggle). Handy performed a fireshow for us and the bar gave us free wine, the cook put on a barbeque and the driver drove us into town for free. We shared two bungalos between the four of us and only paid about $3cdn each per night WOW.

Ko Lanta is a sleepy place very chill out on the beach. A great place to see the Island is to rent a motorbike, you can rent them everywhere. If you get bored there are caves to see. On the south side of the Island there is a jungle like atmoshpere and you can take diving or snorkelling trips but the area is not know for it.
