Koh Lanta was my favourite stop during my Thailand adventure.
It’s about a four hour drive from Ao Nang and is just such a beautiful small
island, it felt like we had landed in paradise.
We stayed at Lantas Lodge Resort which was a cluster if
bungalows along the beach which was run by ‘the boss’ a funny little Thai man. The
bungalow we stayed in was basic but lovely and clean, I would definitely stay
here again. The best part was there was
a beach right in front of the bungalows and it was just so beautiful, I wish I
could transport you all there as my photos just don’t do it justice. All along
the beach are bars and restaurants but it never felt touristy. It felt off the
beaten track and was just a great atmosphere.
Whilst staying on Koh Lanta it was my 28th
birthday! So I decided a trip was in order, we booked ourselves onto the ‘4
island tour’ which was a boat trip on a long boat. The highlight of which was
visiting emerald island, which when you first see looks like a giant cliff face
with a cave underneath. We got to swim through the cave and inside was a
secluded beach, it was breathtaking and so surreal. It felt like you were on a
movie set. To finish my birthday we went to a restaurant and sat drinking
cocktails on the beach, with some new friends we had made. It was such a great
way to celebrate!
I am not going to lie, we did a lot of sunbathing and beer
drinking whilst here, making the most of soaking in the gorgeous weather and environment.
However for our final day on the island we headed to the local cookery school! Now
for anyone who doesn’t know me, I am a useless cook. I am way to easily
distracted which means I tend to burn everything. So I wasn’t sure if I was
going to enjoy it. My friend is a keen cook so I agreed to give it a go. We were
there for three hours and made three Thai dishes (and ate them all of course). It
was really enjoyable and our group was so lovely.
If one day I make it back to Thailand I will definitely make
the effort to return to Koh Lanta. It really is paradise.
