Koh Lanta

We had a very short ferry boat ride to Koh Lanta. We arrived by mid morning and were in the swimming pool soon after arrival as it was so hot.  We had lunch at our resort and lounged by the pool area until late afternoon where we finally did some Island exploring and walked along the beach.  

Our resort was at the far end of the beach so we walked along the beach front into town.  We had a beer at a cool little beach shack before returning home to only just miss the monsoon rains! 

It was still raining when we woke up so I was not keen to hire a scooter as we had planned.  We spent some time booking accommodation for our next stop and having breakfast.  The rain eased and then completely stopped so we did stick to our plan of getting a scooter and seeing the Lanta Old Town on the other side of the Island.  Here the little houses were built over the sea.  We found an awesome hammock shop and ended up buying one even though there is no room in our packs!  

The day finished with a swim in our pool and beers on our little deck looking out to the bungalow in front (we couldn't afford a sea view bungalow!).

The next morning was an early start as we headed to Malaysia.
