Klong Khong Beach

---

After a lovely week at Lanta Emerald we thought we'd better reduce our accommodation costs. We had a look at a couple of other bays but couldn't really find anything that compared to Klong Khong. The touristy areas cost more and the quieter areas that were cheap were just too quiet. We struck gold though when after some hard bargaining we moved to another place on the same beach. Sea Sand Sun Resort bungalow has air con, sat t.v., fridge and a lovely pool, all for 600 baht per night. We even got the front bungalow so another sea view :-) Another bonus of the off-peak season is that we haven't shared the pool once!





During the last week we've totally chilled out, worked on our tans, finished our books, played games, had massages, drunk too much but eaten really healthily :-) We have explored the island on a motorbike (well, a scooter) and Sharon managed not to fall off ! We have now been here long enough to be recognised by the locals who are all really friendly and like to try out their english on us (our Thai is really poor but is improving). Sharon is turning into Doctor Dolittle and falling in love with various animals, she is even thinking about hiding a little kitten in her backpack!
