Koh Lanta

Ko Lanta is an island just 2 hrs from Krabi on the Andaman coast. We have booked into a luxury bungalow for 10 days with a stunning view of Ko Phi Phi. A time to relax, unpack the rucksacks and kick back. Do some swimming, snorkelling and eating. We have already been invited to some beach parties and tomorrow will hire a motorbike and explore.

Ko Lanta is so quiet. Yesterday we had a whole beach to ourselves. The sea is perfect and Garry has already been snorkelling. There are a lot of tsunami evactuation points along the beach, but there is no evidence of damage any more.

Koh Mook is an island just off Koh Lanta and we went on a day trip to see the Emerald cave (we had to swim thro a cave thro' to an enclosed beach).

We are having a visa crisis again. The big decision of the week is whether to make a visa run to Malaysia or Burma or just risk it and pay the overstay charge. More to follow....
