Koh Lanta is in the West South of the Thailand. It is an about fifty
Islands. The most part is deserted. 15 of them are classified Natinal
Park.
 |
Koh Lanta Yai is an island of 20.0000 inhabitants ,95% of this population
is Muslim, which can go up and down in motor bike for 150 to 200
Bahts/ day approximately 4 to 5euros. It's a good way to discover
and to across the 25 km in lenght of the island. This road is marked
with old artisanal gasoline pumps (petrol stations).
In the centre of the island , where the road takes altitude ( up
to 500 meters) don't miss the panoramic sight of the first restaurant.
There, the owner will receive you with smile and warmth. you will
very please him by coming to admire the seplendid survey of the
sun(sunset&sunrise), between two of these huge stones posed
on the sea.
|
More low in the south of the island, in the village Lanta, date on
Pier. This pier is on a sea, a building of very precarious wood,
which risks disappearing with the next waves. Have a quick look
in Stamm Guest-House and if you have courage, span over the last
boardwalk on this old little house in complete dilapidation, straight
taken out from a film of Hitchcock.
The most beautiful beaches are in the West North and in the South;
In the west centre the ground is stonier.
|
 |
In the centre some rubber plantations and an excursion of caves will
impose necessary financial years. Someone of your muscles put to sleep
by the long intensive sessios of suntan on the beach. In effect, here,
the muscles which work, are especially : those of your ankles to regulate
the flapping of palms and those of your eyelids to mast fish and corals.
 |
In Koh Lanta Yai, even if you are on an island, you will not feel
insulated. Firstly, because bungalows develop at a prodigious speed
and then because, on a village as Ban Saladan. You will find there
all that you need, and even more : bank, groceries,resto, centres
of diving, electricity spans over the sea. These huge electrical
pylons spoil the landscape a bit at the arrival of the ferryboat.
But good news, it is that on all islands and for 30 B/hour (less
than 1 euro), you will have access in countless Internet coffees
: nice and inexpensive means to share your emotions.
|
In total, you will find about fifty residences bungalows. The most
part of them will be able to organize for you the visits of islands, rent
you motorbikes or offer you divings (via notably the club of Ban Saladan)
to be absolutely seen : plus 200 kinds of corals and 108 kinds of listed
fish. From Koh Lanta, your skin will have become red orange, not only
because of sunstrokes, but also because you will have been coated with
a reddish (red) dust, from head to feet.
