Koh Lanta is a small island in the Andaman Sea and we stayed here for one week in total because the place was pretty booked up with it being Christmas. We ended up staying in a hotel right on Klong Dao beach which meant it was really nice at breakfast time- sitting there having your breakfast listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the sand. We took plenty of walks here too because the beach was so long and beautiful. Ban Saladan is the main town and we went down there a few times for meals out and shopping. Generally though we just did what we came to do and that’s relax in beautiful surroundings. We did not go to the famous island of Koh Pi Pi where the beach was filmed because ... read more

Moved my way south to Koh Lanta on my way to Bali ultimately. I have to make my way about 1400 miles by December the 28th for my flight headed to Melbourne Australia. Koh Lanta was friendly and i met nice people, but again it was full of couples and very quiet otherwise. I had just left my best mates in Laos and was feeling a bit lonely not having great friends around. I wasn't quite ready to be alone yet. I took it for granted while in Koh Lanta but i still had a great time. Rented motor bikes and saw a bit of the island. Otherwise i just sat in the huts on the beach and read. It was a very relaxing time. ... read more

Well its our last day on Ko Lanta. Had the most amazing time here and met the best people. Had a few beach party nights onw with a live band which was great. Had a great BBQ the other night. Some German guys bought some fsh and the bar man on the beach bar just cooked it on a BBQ. As it isnt a restaurant it was really cheap. Baracuda is very tasty! We planned to have an early night with no drinking as we had to get up at 6.30 the next day fro the 24 hour bus journey to Singapore. Few too many later at 4 o'clock i went to bed Whoops!!!... read more

Our last tropical Island (in thailand) was Koh Lanta, and what a beautiful island it was, possibly rating in the top 2. Finding a room proved to be strenuous as everywhere appeared to be fully booked, after a long, hot, hilly walk we discovered a fantastic secluded spot on the beach. Koh Lanta has not yet been overdeveloped so you can still feel isolated and away from it all and have the beach all to yourself. Our last days revolved around snorkelling, lying in hammocks, drinking with locals at our private bar, having massages (a Thai Massage you should note is not a relaxing experience however, every muscle is pummeled, streched and battered, your bones almost pulled out of joint and you body streched in positions you couldnt possibly imagine!! Whereas with an oil massage although ... read more
