Ko Lanata

Well we decided to spend 4 nights on Ko Lanta as we feel like we have being going none stop since we landed (Time for a bit of R&R).

First couple of days we chilled relaxing on the beach. Again just drinking fruit smoothes listening to the waves. The really good thing about Lanta is that you don't get hassled by Thai people trying to sell you stuff.

Coming to the 3rd day we thought we had better do sight seeing so we hired a motorbike to tour the Island. We jump on at about 9am and went down to the next beach (Khlong Beach) for breakfast. We went to this place that was recommeded to us by this Thai guy in Sarat Thani called New Beach Long Beach Bungalows. Well the bungalows were nice but the food and beach was a bit on the shitty side. So we are glad we did not stay there. Next onto the view pinot. This is basically a restaurant on the top of the island. Quite cool up there looking out over the east side of the island. There were heaps of butterflies all around and we sat in this kinda really cool tree fort. Enough of the butterflies cos we were off to the Sea Gypsy Village. It took us about 20 mins to get there and not all it's cracked up to be...it's just a village....why do people put things like this on tourist maps????

After our tour of the island we just chilled out. Splashed out on dinner 430 Baht and had Snapper, Prawns and baked potatoes. Early night as we are heading back to Bangkok.

We have decided that we what to go to Laos after Hong Kong rather than spending another 3 weeks in Thailand. The country is cool and all but would like to do something different before Kristy and Boom get over here.
