      Weihnachtsgefühle auf Koh Lanta

      December 27, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      Was hatten wir nur für schöne Weihnachtstage..?!?
      Vor 6 Tagen sind wir auf Koh Lanta angekommen und augenblicklich wurde uns wieder bewusst dass wir eindeutig Inselliebhaber sind! Unsere neue Unterkunft hat uns auf Anhieb so gut gefallen, dass wir aus 5 geplanten Tagen - 8 machten und mittlerweile ist die Entscheidung gefallen bis zum 02.01 zu bleiben. Wir leben in einem romantischen Bungalow mitten in einer Kautschukfarm eingebettet im Dschungel. Koh Lanta bietet lange und breite Sandstrände, lebendige und spannenden Natur im Dschungel des Landesinneren und traumhaftes Wetter. Die Regenzeit ist endgültig vorbei und langsam trudeln mehr und mehr Touristen ein.
      Es ist ein sanftes Erwachen der allgemeinen Lebendigkeit an diesem Ort und wir genießen sowohl die Orte die zur Ruhe einladen als auch Abenteuer in der Natur.
      In den vielen kleinen Ortschaften finden sich viele gemütliche Strandbars, Cafés und Restaurants in denen wir uns wieder glücklicherweise kulinarisch verwöhnen lassen.
      Wir haben in den vergangenen Tagen beinahe die gesamte Insel erkundet und sind dem Charme und der Vielfalt verfallen. Mal kamen wir an einsamen Buchten an, oder mitten im Nirgendwo umgeben von mehr Kautschukfarmen und dem dichten Dschungel.
      Anlässlich der Feiertage haben wir das Rollerfahren mit Musik in den Ohren für uns entdeckt.
      Unsere Playlist auf Spotify spielte einen Weihnachtsklassiker nach dem anderen und wir genossen die Fahrten entlang der Küste in bester Stimmung uns sangen lauthals mit. Die Insel selbst verwandelte sich zum 24.12 in ein Weihnachtsidyll der anderen Art. Palmen am Strand wurden notdürftig aber auch liebenswert mit Lametta behangen, in den Bars wurde unsere Spotifyliste gefühlt übernommen und freundliche Gesichter sowohl von Touristen als auch Einheimischen wünschten in Bademode "Merry Christmas".
      Weihnachten so losgesgelöst zu empfinden und zu verbringen war vor allem für mich (Hertha) eine besondere und wundervolle Erfahrung.
      Fern von dem Geschenkestress, der Organisation allen Liebsten gerecht zu werden gab es dieses Jahr nur uns beide, das klare Meer, erfrischende Kokosnüsse, heißer Sand unter den Füßen und eine sanfte Meeresbrise - vorallem aber gab es in uns das überwältigende Gefühl von tiefer Dankbarkeit, Liebe und Frieden. Alles was Weihnachten im Kern symbolisiert.
      Und dank Videocalls konnten wir uns auch unseren Familien und Freunden nahe fühlen! Es war ein wundervoller, schöner Tag!
      Am ersten Weihnachtstag haben wir uns Abends mit Oletta, einer Reisenden aus den Niederlanden zusammen getan und sind abends in eine Bar gefahren. Haben gute Gespräche geführt, einer Feuershow zugesehen (die allerdings brenzlich verlief und uns in einen ganz schönen Schockmoment versetzte als mittendrin die Haare eines Jungen Feuer fingen-nahm aber dennoch ein "gutes Ende") und im großen und ganzen war auch dieser Tag ein total schöner! Auf dem Nachtmarkt in unserem Städtchen gab es ein Late - Night Pad Thai und einen sympathischen, spontanen Kochkurs for free.- Das Pad Thai war weniger gut, aber dem warmen Zwischenmenschlichem Moment mit der Köchin trotzdem wert.
      Als gegenseitiges Geschenk gab es dieses Jahr eine Insel-Schnorcheltour für uns beide. Diese fand am 26.12 statt und davon berichten wir im nächsten Eintrag

      🇹🇭 Koh Lanta - Thaïlande

      May 3, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

      🇹🇭 Ça y est on est sur l'île de Denis Brogniart ! Koh Lanta !

      Du coup, avant d'arriver sur cette île on nous a mis en garde de l'ambiance particulière qui y règne, il faut savoir que c'est une île très peu touristique ! En fait, uniquement les français connaissent l'émission et donc cette île, les autres vont préférés aller à Koh Phi Phi ou Phuket dans le même secteur !

      Donc beaucoup de restos ou magasins fermés et des villes très vides. Mais à l'inverse nous avons pu avoir des plages pour nous seuls, des forêts intactes, des singes, des varans, des lézards et autres animaux dans leur milieu naturel ! 🦎

      En fait, cette île nous a vachement reposé contrairement au rythme effréné des précédentes !

      Bref, on a adoré ! Nous avons eu 2 hôtels pour un total de 6 nuits sur place, location de scooter gratuite en échange de quelques photos que nous avons offertes au premier hôtel pour leur site internet ! Et une belle journée snorkeling organisée sur 4 petites îles paradisiaques autour de Koh Lanta !

      Je vous laisse avec les photos !

      Biz à tout le monde ✌️

      (PS : on a vu Némo !)

      Weiter nach Koh Lanta

      February 17, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

      Um unser Inselhopping weiter zu führen ging es weiter zur nächsten Insel „Koh Lanta“. Diesmal startete die Fahrt mit einem alten Minivan, der mal wieder viel zu voll beladen war. Dann in Krabi mussten wir am Büro umsteigen. Das war bisher die schlechteste Reiseagentur. Zum einen waren die Leute dort mega unfreundlich, auch in den umliegenden Geschäften und dem Klo, und zum anderen wurde versucht uns mal wieder übers Ohr zu hauen. Nach einer kurzen Rücksprache unserer Gastgeberin und einem Telefonat mit dem Typen dort, war auf einmal doch der ausgemachte Zielort möglich. Auch die anderen Reisenden waren genervt... 😓
      Nach einer, aber dann doch ganz angenehmer Fahrt, kamen wir an unserer Unterkunft an. Diesmal hatten wir wieder einen Bungalow. Danach gingen wir an den langen Sandstrand, direkt vor unserer Tür. Es war sehr schön. Nur mit Schatten war es schwierig. Also entschieden wir zu einer Bar zu gehen, die hier alle sehr cool aussahen. Wir musste jedoch erst eine Bar finden, die auch Getränke ohne Alkohol verkauft. Wir vermuten, dass aufgrund der vielen Muslime hier, die normalen Restaurants kein Alkohol verkaufen, die danebenliegenden Bars dagegen nichts anderes. 🙈
      Aber wir fanden eine nette Bar mit Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirm. So entspannten wir im Schatten bis die die Sonne schwächer wurde. Danach liefen wir noch am Strand entlang und sonnten uns. Am Abend gab es dann im „Jai Dee“ Restaurant direkt am Strand westliches Essen, Spaghetti und Burger...

      Day 34 - Ever Get The Feeling You’ve....

      January 13, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Been Cheated? Goodnight.

      At the usual time we had breakfast. Well, Jackie had coffee, a slice of watermelon & pineapple each & a mouthful of scrambled egg! The waiter kept laughing at us for some reason, maybe it was my Rockhopper Penguin hairdo or the fact that Jackie turned out to be wearing her vest top inside out.

      We then went back to the room to skilfully pack our rucksacks for the journey home. At 11.15am we checked out of the Clean Beach Resort & sat in reception to await the arrival of our ‘private’ transport, due at midday.

      At 11.45am, a local wandered into reception & enquired if we waiting for transport to Krabi. After showing him our ticket we loaded up the rucksacks into the back of the minibus, thanked the man we booked the trip through, who insisted on shaking our hands, then spread out across the seats. It seemed like good value in upgrading to ‘private’ for the paltry additional sum of £2.50 each!

      However we didn’t go anywhere, it turned out that we were sharing our ‘private’ minibus with 2 others who were in the restaurant having breakfast. Ten minutes later they appeared & we were off, speeding towards Krabi Airport.

      But no, we stopped several times until there were 12 passengers on board & all the seats taken. We were cursing Mr Trip Organiser who when we said “Goodbye”, must have been laughing that he had ripped us off. Stupid Farangs!

      The minibus journey was actually ok. We were the first stop & at 2.40pm, we disembarked at Krabi Domestic Terminal. We were the only occupants of the minivan getting off here & needless to say our rucksacks were at the bottom of a pile crammed in from floor to ceiling.

      Check in at the airport was straight forward & we tested security, who failed, because we sneaked through a bottle of moisturising oil in our hand luggage. Then whilst waiting in the departure lounge the heavens opened & there was a torrential downpour. This was the first rain we had actually seen on this trip. Maybe it is another omen!

      The flight onThai Smile Airways was fine apart from the chinless balding Yank sat next to us who was a bit excitable & kept shouting to his mates behind in a very irritating squeaky voice.

      We took a public taxi to our hotel, Bangkok Panda House, which was actually a hostel, but in a gated community. Jackie booked it. David the owner, who is half Malaysian, half Chinese, took us up to our family room. To our horror we discovered that we had a shared bathroom with 2 double rooms.

      We dumped our rucksacks & went back down to see David for a calming beer, but he had run out. He suggested we go to the 7-11 not much more than a quarter of a mile away on Thanon King Kaeo, which is a busy dual carriageway. He offered us the use of his motorcycle, but told us we would have to drive the wrong way up the dual carriageway, so we should go slow!

      We politely declined his kind offer & walked, doing our best not to antagonise the packs of stray dogs. At one point in the there were 5 dogs in front of us & 5 dogs behind us. In 7-11, we bought 6 large bottles of Chang, which was probably way too much. We then returned to Panda House where David was keen to demonstrate his culinary skills to us.

      David insisted we have his homemade Chinese dumplings, both steamed & fried, containing pork, fermented duck egg & other things & an array of spices. We had a total of 20, all of which were very nice. David was very passionate about his food & insisted we try his homemade sauces & we even tried raw fermented duck egg that had the texture of cheese. It was all an education.

      During the cooking process & dinner we got to say hello to some of the other residents of Panda House who were all sharing a mixed dorm. There was an old bald bloke covered in tattoos that was permanently looking at his phone in one hand, whilst zapping mossies with an electrified tennis racquet in the other. Then there was a skinny girl who walked in & had a chat, who had gone out that day in effectively a white string vest. Then there were 2 young blokes, who had apparently tried to share a single bed & finally another young lad who later that night came out in a pair of long johns & asked us to keep the noise down. Who said we were too old to party!!

      We were having a nice time chatting to David, when our 1st floor neighbours returned from a night out at the Bangkok Ladyboy Show. They were a Chinese mum, dad, son & daughter-in-law. Dad joined us at our table & insisted we join him for a pot of tea. It was made in the traditional way, the first brew thrown away to clean the leaves. Mum, son & daughter-in-law sat at another table & drank coke.

      They seemed a nice family & were able to have half a conversation with them through David. Dad giggled a lot & loudly, which caused the request to quieten down. We discovered they were from Jiuzhaigou in western China, which is just a 3 hour flight away. They were keen to show us on google maps where it was & the images looked stunning.

      It was their 1st time in Thailand & they had stayed in this hostel for the entire week, which is really bizarre because it takes an hour to get into Bangkok city centre.

      At 11.45pm, the wife & youngsters went to bed, we then turned in not long after midnight. We then had to sit in our room, whilst the Chinese were showering in our communal bathroom, waiting for one to finish so we could use the loo & clean our teeth. Their showering continued until 12.45am.

      Day 33 - Are We So Predictable?

      January 12, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      I think we are. We know what we like!

      We got up at the usual time, skipped breakfast, then took up our usual spot on the deckchairs outside Soul Kitchen. I went for my usual run, then went for our usual beach walk.

      Upon returning to Soul Kitchen, I walked towards the bar, when one of the three staff, called out “Big Water”. Exactly what we needed & usually got.

      We had a pre-lunch walk, before walking up into the restaurant, where the staff started giggling & presented us with our usual 2 large Changs. I ordered the Garlic Dhal Set, that won us over on our 1st ever visit & Jackie ordered Tempura Prawns & a naan bread. (She was suffering naan envy!).

      The GDS was as good as the 1st time & Jackie had a mountain of battered prawns so that she could hardly eat any of her naan. I had to assist in that department rendering me unable to order a dessert. The lunch was further washed down with our usual second large Chang.

      The afternoon was more walking, followed by a big water & once Happy Hour arrived, I headed to the bar & was given two small Chang, which we usually order. It was then ‘Same Same’ for two more, then we blindsided them by ordering Mangodaquiri each to end our last day in Khlong Nin Beach.

      We decided our final meal would be at MaMa’s Style, so it came as no surprise to find that it was closed for the night. It was an omen, we were supposed to eat in Soul Kitchen. I ordered Massaman curry for a final time & Jackie last minute chose chicken kebab & chips, which unexpectedly was wrapped in a Naan bread. We ended up having half each. As an unexpected bonus, I was now able to order the mango & sticky rice topped with coconut & sesame. Jackie was only going to have a mouth full, because she doesn’t really like it, but managed to eat half of it, then said we had eaten too much & should skip breakfast.

      We’ll see.

      Day 19 - Only Bloody Elvis Again

      December 29, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Today we hired a scooter again for a reconnaissance mission. We asked our lovely lady, Ling, & her husband if they could recommend anywhere around Khlong Nin Beach. They offered up two. One too expensive & hotelly for our taste. The other similar to Lanta Happy Hills.

      Our first stop of the day was Khlong Khong Beach, which Mr Chatty Man from Malina’s Kitchen had tipped us off as the best place to be on New Years Eve. The beach was not much to shout about, but apparently the bars were good. It is 2.5 miles from where we live.

      We then scooted on to Khlong Nin Beach, for another breakfast at the French Bakery. I was all teed up for my own baguette & honey, but apparently we needed to share a ham & Brie baguette. Before which we had driven up & down a few times & identified a few possible places for our next stay.

      We then sat on the beach, which was a bit windy. It didn’t have the vibe we were looking for & we felt slightly deflated. After long walks up & down the long beach we felt that maybe we should consider other options for our final week or so in Thailand. We decided to take an early lunch & reflect.

      Walking back along the beach looking for somewhere for lunch we were instantly drawn to a beach bar/restaurant called Soul Kitchen. It was possibly their speakers blasting out ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’, the decor & seating arrangements or the offer of Indian & Thai food. The music playlist was right up my street from bands such as Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty, The Jam etc etc. But the best bit was the food, Jackie inexplicably had French Fries, but I had a garlic dhal plate consisting of a garlic naan, a pot of dhal & a pot of raita. It was bloody gorgeous, in fact so much so that we did a complete u-turn & booked 5 nights accommodation just up the road whilst still eating our lunch. Just so we could come back every day!

      The afternoon was spent in comfort on a cushioned mat & with a triangular pillow at the front of Soul Kitchen listening to great tunes finished off with cocktails at happy hour.

      After returning home we popped out for dinner for red curry & chicken & cashew nuts. Perfectly pleasant, but we were already fantasising about what we were going to eat at Soul Kitchen.

      After we stopped in 7-11 for some provisions & I espied Elvis in a red suit eating an egg sandwich. I clearly not so discreetly pointed him out to Jackie, because he turned round & said to me “Yes, I’ve just finished a show”. At least he didn’t chase me down the street!! After
      I was kicking myself for not getting a photo, so I sneaked back in to the shop & covertly took a photo of his back.

      Day 24 - Beautiful Eyes & Stragglers

      January 3, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      Considering everything we had a fantastic sleep, there must be something to be said for velour sheets!

      In bed I started to research for the previous days blog. I ended up on TripAdvisor that offered me the opportunity to write a review for last nights disastrous meal. Below is my review:-

      ‘Awful Dinner & Owner with Bad Attitude
      We have been in Thailand for over a month & this was our worst meal by a mile. The food and drink are overpriced. My wife enquired if the crab dish was still in it’s shell & was told no it was just crab meat in a curry paste. When it arrived it was a small crab still it’s shell & very little meat. The yellow curry was bland with just 3 minuscule pieces of chicken, but lots of chunks of carrot. To top it all, when the bill arrived, they tried to charge us for 2 beers that we didn’t have. The western owner was very dismissive when we explained why the crab was returned virtually untouched & that we had been over charged.. It is no wonder that his restaurant was half empty compared to the other restaurants along the beach’.

      With that off my chest, we headed for the beach only to discover that Soul Kitchen was closed. We had planned to sit on it’s beds all day, so not a good start. Instead, we set up nearby & I went for a run along the beach. Thirty minutes later, I returned gasping for water, so Jackie went to buy a bottle from crazy man at CharleeBarley’s Bar, who gave her a small bottle of water free because he didn’t know how to use the till.

      Recovered, I went off in search of more liquid & found a smoothie bar. The guy in front of me was wearing just a pair of pink Muay Thai shorts. It turned out he was English and comes out to Ko Lanta each winter to train & fight for Nicha Muay Thai Gym. He had had 3 fights & 3 wins by knockout so far this season. He was only 59 kilos, but I wouldn’t be fighting him. Before he left, he kindly let me taste his smoothie which was delicious, so I ordered a couple of the same.

      The Thai lady making the smoothies, made the 1st one & put it down between us, but it was about to topple, so we both went to grab it. I got to it first, but unfortunately I squeezed too hard & a jet of orange smoothie ejaculated from the hole in the top, some landing on me, but the Thai lady’s face & chest were dripping in the orange goo. After apologies all round & a clean up, she made the 2nd & I finally returned to Jackie.

      Due to flying sand we took a bed outside Blue Moon Bar & Restaurant, then had a stroll to the shorter end of the beach, then had lunch back at Blue Moon. We went western, with a club sandwich & a cheeseburger & a couple of beers each. The waiter felt obliged to inform Jackie that she had the most beautiful blue eyes. When the bill came they had omitted 2 beers & to my shame I didn’t correct the mistake.

      After lunch, we walked to the long end of the beach still searching for our next hotel. We wandered in & around a few hotels & played toilet bingo. Jackie was all chuffed with herself about her ‘beautiful eyes’, she thought she was the bees knees until she realised that she had some stragglers poking out of her bikini bottoms!! How embarrassing, a shave would be required this evening.

      Along the beach we found a hotel that was only half built, but had full infinity pools, so we stopped for a little cooling dip, which was quite surreal. After finally getting to the end of the beach, we headed back to Blue Moon. The beach, Klong Nin Beach, is approx 2 kilometres long, so having run & walked it several times, we had definitely burnt off our lunch.

      At Happy Hour, I went & ordered some more drinks & the waiter asked me if I had had other drinks. I slightly offendedly explained that we had, but had paid for them at lunch. He didn’t seem convinced. After sunset, we took a visit to 7-11 to buy some ‘crap’.

      That evening we went to a street restaurant called MaMas Style. Jackie selected a whole squid which they barbecued & served simply with just chilli sauce & a jacket potato. I had Massaman curry. It all beautiful, a thousand times better than the night before. We had a cheeky banana & milk roti on the way home.

      Day 25 - Final Hotel Booked, Hallelujah!

      January 4, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Another great night’s sleep. We collected our laundry from reception, 2.8 kilos that cost less than £3. It’s cheaper than doing it yourself at home apparently.

      We went directly to my smoothie lady for a healthy smoothie each, which was disaster free, then headed for the beach. We passed the Muay Thai Gym & I espied my ‘Muay Thai Champion Buddy’ having a fag outside in his fight gear! Maybe I could have him after all!!

      Soul Kitchen was open so we plonked ourselves down on their beds, then I stripped off & went for my daily run. Upon my return, we polished off a bottle of water, had a walk, then started on the Chang. Lunch consisted of a prawn salad for Jackie & I, chicken masala on a naan with raita. All lovely.
      During lunch, we booked our final 6 nights at Clean Beach Resort, Hallelujah, which Ying’s husband had recommended to us 1st time round.

      After lunch we walked the full length of the beach again, stopping for another dip in the infinity pool at the half built hotel. We remained outside Soul Kitchen until sunset again, before returning home to discover that paedo & his entourage had gone. Hallelujah.

      That evening we ate at Richey Bar, which was next door Roi Thai/La Marina. We had chicken kebabs & pork ribs from the barbecue with corn 🌽 on the cob & garlic bread. It was decent, but the highlight of the night was seeing that Roi Thai/La Marina was completely empty, not one single customer, just bored waitresses looking slightly bemused. This is amazing because all the other restaurants in the vicinity were full. Maybe I am a social media influencer following my scathing review on TripAdvisor the previous day!

      Day 26 - Spicy? Spicy Spicy

      January 5, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

      Straight to the beach today & claimed our usual beds outside Soul Kitchen. I then took my usual run along the beach, but now barefooted. My toe is just about healed now.

      Later after a short walk we had an early lunch, Jackie a Tom Yum prawn rice dish & I, chicken & cashew nuts with a naan. Then followed a long walk along the beach, which had become a jellyfish graveyard. Hundreds of round transparent blobs were littering the sand & shallow waters. I embarrassingly screamed when one brushed my foot. It was more embarrassing, when on the return journey, we saw a young girl picking the jellyfish up & throwing them back in the sea!

      We couldn’t have our daily dip in the infinity pool, because there were some builders working there.

      At happy hour, we took full advantage, but this time sat in a couple of deckchairs (like Darby & Joan) until dusk & the restaurants were starting to fill up with early evening diners.

      That night we went to another street shack. Jackie went for Tom Yum Soup with prawns from the bbq, whilst I ordered a chicken curry in coconut milk. The owner asked Jackie “Spicy?”, to which Jackie replied “Spicy Spicy”.

      When her soup arrived, Jackie tucked in and soon her nose was running, her eyes were watering & she was turning a delicate shade of beetroot. The paper napkins were used up within minutes, but apparently it was lovely. The staff were laughing when they came over to check that everything was ok, which included the chef, who wanted to know which idiot ordered it spicy spicy.

      My curry was very nice, but spicier than usual. I think I got tarred with the same brush.

      We returned home so Jackie could be close to a toilet & we sat outside our room with a Hong Thong listening to The Stereophonics on the iPad.

      Day 27 - Pizza Pandemonium

      January 6, 2020 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      After plonking ourselves down in deckchairs at Soul Kitchen, I then went for my customary run along the beach, followed by walks up & down the beach.

      We planned to have a pizza tonight, so we decided to have just a couple of starters for lunch. We ordered Crispy Tofu with Peanut dip & Fried Sweet Potato with Tahini (Sesame Dip). The Crispy Tofu was exceptionally & unexpectedly good.

      The afternoon was spent in our deckchairs right through to sunset, with the usual libations at Happy Hour.

      That evening we went out for our much anticipated pizza at the French Bakery, which gets rave reviews. Outside, Jackie started having second thoughts on whether she wanted pizza, which resulted in us walking up & down the street, before deciding we would have pizza.

      We entered the French Bakery & went to sit at the best positioned table, but the waitress informed us it was reserved. It did have a sign on it to that effect. She ushered us to another, but it was too close to the ovens. It was already a hot night, so we got up & sat at a table on the other side of the restaurant, but decided we didn’t like it because it was near a pool table. SO we got up again & plonked ourselves on a table for six at the front of the restaurant. The waitress who had been monitoring our movements came over & informed us that the table was for 4 or more people. By now I think everyone in the restaurant was aware of our presence & the owner (who had been tending the ovens) stormed over, snatched the reserved sign off our 1st choice table & said we could sit there. He then said something to the waitress that sounded decidedly like he was giving her a rollocking. What a kerfuffle, not the entrance we had in mind!

      Having perused the menu, Jackie came out with the immortal line “Shall we share just one?”
      I was flabbergasted “You are bloody joking, we’ve only had a starter all day”. So that was it, we ordered 2 pizza, a pepperoni for Jackie & a ‘Lanta’ for me.....when in Rome.

      The pizzas came out & were a huge warm disc of doughy loveliness. Jackie spent the next half an hour telling me why we should have shared just the one. It didn’t help that I couldn’t finish all of mine & Jackie ate not much more than half of hers!

      After dinner we took a trip to the 7-11 for some provisions, then returned to our balcony for a game of Cribbage. Jackie won, but only with my assistance!!
