Koh Lanta is a large island very near the famous Ko Phi Phi, however for some reason it has not developed into such a tourist spot and when we arrived in what is the off season the place was virtually deserted. With a little bit of encouragement we managed to negotiate a bungalow for the three of us, with air con, cable tv and a the nicest bathroom so far for 300b, that is 2pounds each! Consider we have paid more that that for a bamboo shack in need of waterproofing.
Day one on Ko lanta was a lazy affair, walking from bungalow to pool (we had a pool!) and back all day, before collapsing into bed with a few beers to watch england claim the second test, with english commentaty.
On day two we were a little more adventurous, getting out to explore the island and discovering a completely deserted beach. On it we found what i can only describe as a lump. I thought it was a washed up banana, Tom was convinced it was allive, but every time we tried to save it by throwing it into the sea it somehow found a way to roll back to us.
The Final Day on Lanta was some what of a dissapointment, a day of rain meant we could not really go to the beach, and the local football game we hed been invited to was cancelled.
Next stop Ko Phi Phi
