Koh Lanta, Thailand


When we arrived on Koh Lanta we breathed a sigh of relief. Koh Lanta felt like it was abandoned compared to Koh Tao. The atmosphere was very environmentally conscious and had a local chill friendliness about it.

We waisted no time in finding a place to sleep along Hat Phra Ae Beach. This time we landed nice wooden and bamboo bungalows that had high roofs and attached open roof bathrooms. There was something intimately natural and refreshing to be able to have a cold shower under big fluffy clouds and bright blue ocean skies. How much more intimate it was to drop a deuce!

It seemed like a chore to get Alissa out from the hammock on the porch of the bungalow even though the beach was just a few meters away.


It's hard to believe but the beaches are even more chill than the accommodations. We'll always remember a beach peddler walking, arms full of hand made merchandise, down an almost deserted beach. Finally when she got to us she gave us a look then walked into the distance. We kinda get the feeling that business is a little slow. Ha ha.

We had a good few days on this island ,then before becoming too lazy, we were off again.
