Koh Lanta

After a two hour ferry ride through heavy rain we arrived in the evening on Koh Lanta where we stayed at the My Home Lantawadee hotel for three nights. Marina didn’t feel great, probably still from our recent sickness, so we just went for dinner and then to bed. The next day we stayed around the hotel, either relaxing in our room, or walking along and swimming at the Khlong Dao beach nearby where we could see many nice seashells and starfishes.

The day after we rented a scooter to explore the rest of the island a bit. We drove south to visit several beaches like the Bamboo Beach, Khlong Chak, Nui Bay, Bakantiang Beach, where we either just had a look, relaxed, or cooled off with a swim. And of course, we used this opportunity to eat at some restaurants which we could only reach with a scooter. In the evening we went jogging, picked up the laundry we dropped off before hitting the road, and went for our last dinner on the island.

The next morning we took a modified scooter as a taxi to the port. These are scooters that feature a loading area that is attached like a sidecar to a motorcycle. It was just enough to transport the two of us including our luggage but it sure did not seem stable as it felt like sitting a bit too far in the front would make the whole thing tip over. But we arrived just fine and hopped on yet another speed boat to our next destination on yet another island.
