Our first day there we rented a couple of motorbikes to get around to more areas of the island. We went off in a random direction with no plan with two Canadian girls that we had met on the ferry coming across. We rode around for a bit to some deserted beaches and then followed a sign for a waterfall. After a while the road turned to a dirt track and then ended at a restaurant. From there we were told to walk into the jungle for a while and we would find the waterfall. The walk ended up being over half an hour over pretty tricky terrain at times just walking along a stream. Not what we were expecting but we imagined it would definitely be worth it. It wasn’t:
On Valentines day me and Pete had a lovely meal together on the beach (they didn‘t light the candle on our table though) to the accompaniment of every heartbreak song that you could think of, no wonder the restaurant was empty! Afterwards we went to a bar further up the beach and watched the barmen display their skill with various firery sticks, thankfully now in the company of the Canadian girls.
On our last day there we noticed that the sea had strange black patches about 5 or 6 meters long. Up close it turned out that the patches were huge shoals of small fish with the occasional larger ones circling. The picture below is me swimming through the middle of one of the groups, taken with Pete’s underwater camera.
One last thing to mention from Koh Lanta is the pictures on the cigarette packets. Most of them are much more brutal that the UK ones (even worse than throat cancer man) apart from the guy pictured below who seems to be demonstrating how smoking with a baby in your arms makes you look cool.
One more one last thing, here is a picture of a weird bug, I'll be damned if I know what the hell it is!
