Life's A Beach.

It took us a long time to decide where in Thailand we should go. The search was a little bit like Goldilocks mucking around in the Three Bears' house. Some places were too hot. Others not hot enough. Some were too touristy. Others not touristy enough. Some were too remote. Others not remote enough. Eventually we settled on Ko Lanta. It was just right.

For those of you who don't know the geography of the Andaman Province. Ko Lanta is about 2 hours south of Krabi Town. Unlike most other islands, you can access it by road via two car ferries.

Once we decided on Ko Lanta, planning was a lot easier. We spoke to people who'd been there before and began to gather information. Yes, it has a hospital. Yes, it is malaria free. Yes, it is mindblowingly awesome.

All that was left was to book some accommodation. Emma, a friend who we met in McGregor, had travelled in Thailand with her kid not so long ago. And she recommended the Narima Bungalow Resort. It's the kind of place we like.

Bungalows that are large and air-conditioned. With a nice big porch to sling a hammock.

 


 
Nature all around us. None of that manicured lawn, package tours twaddle.

And a beautiful beach as standard.

We've booked two weeks here. Which is nice.
