On Ko Lanta they take their tourist season very seriously. It begins on the 15th of October. And they will not pick up a single piece of garbage before then.
We arrived on the island on the 9th of October. And it was like an episode of the Wombles. With the sprog toddling up to us on the beach with a well-worn flip flop in one hand and a manky toothbrush in the other.
It wasn’t great. But we eventually managed to find a clean beach not too far away. And that is where we happily spent our days.
Then on the morning of the 15th the island swung into collective action and Operation Happy Ending began. The Ko Lantans arrived with rubbish bags. The Fairy Godmother waved her magic wand. And Cinderella stepped out of the carriage.
Unfortunately, we’d already seen her as the dirty kitchen girl, and so failed to fall under her spell.
Next stop Phi Phi.
Oi! Great that you have a blog - more updates please (in between lying in the sun)! Love to Nicola and that cute kid you made. Kath
ReplyDeletedon't shake too much on Phi Phi
ReplyDeleteHey guys. Nice writing Aaron. More please. You should hop the peninsula and get to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Think you may have been there before but you really should go again. Beaches are amazing, child friendly and not too overcrowded. A beach on the north east was awesome, we spent 2 weeks there alone. Horse shoe bay, palm trees, the works. I'm sure wherever you go you'll find the ideal spot though. Have fun!
