Kanchanaburi-Koh Lanta

Normally we don't bother blogging about journeys, but this was pretty epic, more our fault than anyone else's.
The idea was to go to a fishing village called Ranong, and from there get a boat to a tiny and rarely visited island called KO Chang. To get there was a few hours from Kanchanaburi to Bangkok, followed by a very long night bus. On arrival we found virtually no boats will actually agree to go to the island, the sea was too rough. So we hopped on a local bus which we thought would take us the Krabi (the port town for the next island - Koh lanta) Unfortunately it only took us part of the way, as did the next one, and the next one, and the next one. After Finlay arriving in krabi we spend a night before taking a bus to Lanta. After almost 48hours on the road we Finlay arrived, strangely I think we quite enjoyed it.
