Tuk Tuk
The main form of transport here, except of course for the moped (usually with a family of five crammed on board!)No we are not doing more Thai cooking, I mean it literally. Temperatures here are between 35 and 42+ degrees celcius. Good practise for Oz I guess!
We have spent around three weeks on Ko Lanta which is nicknamed 'little scandinavia'. Not surprised, all the Swedish people on holiday in Thailand must be here in Ko Lanta! There are also quite a few living here so amazingly you can get Swedish open sandwiches (made with the Swedish caviar) and also those horrible salty licorice sweets that Sven loves. He has also had lots of fun listening in to Swedish people who don't realise he understands them. Especially a lady in a restaurant who asked me in Swedish if the food was good and her husband said to her "they don't understand Swedish", unfortunately she didn't hear Sven as he replied in Norwegian.
Well back to Ko Lanta. We have had an interesting time here, weather has been great so have done quite a bit of sunbathing although at times it was too hot. The weather has got hotter each day it seems and the sea is like a warm bath. The beaches are pretty although at times a bit
The Bull
Oh my God, we are scared now, can we get past this in the Tuk Tuk! dirty which is a shame. We also went on a day trip in one of the local long boats which was amazing. We saw some lovely islands and beaches, stopping for lunch on a tiny little beach where our Captain served us Thai curry and rice with the local 'Chang' beer. It was very like our experience in Abel Tasman, NZ only as they love to say in Thailand - same, same - but different!
