We chose the 9:00 boat from Phi Phi, the first in the morning, hoping to arrive before the other in Koh Lanta, finding accommodation, as well on, we arrived with nothing booked. Because, too often it works like that in the islands. If you phone before they answer that it is full and they do not know if customers will leave or not, because customers do not tell them the day before ...
Our boat is on the second line. You have to cross First the boat is on the front line, which goes to Phuket. Ours is not full at all compared to going to Phuket!
On the boat, surprise, I found a couple of South Africans living in Korea, with whom I had descended the View Point. They had talked about taking the boat from 11:30, but they too had taken the final decision to take the first boat.
Leaving Phi Phi
We left at 9h15/9h30.
The journey should take an hour, but it took almost 1:30. We talked all along.
ARRIVAL AT LANTA:
A flat island, sand spits, of arrival. We arrive at Saladan.
Find a hotel, Domi calls to the agency that lies at the finish. You end up choosing the Lanta Nature Beach Resort, resort or is found at 2500 baht bungalows or huts of bamboo to 600 baht. Because "there are no more than that. So we take the last two bamboo huts.
And we expect the shuttle. We arrived at 10:30 at the pier, and the shuttle arrived at ... over 13 hrs. It could take a taxi, but the resort's shuttle is free, as do most hotels Lanta. It makes good 30 minutes!
Here, I take possession of my bamboo hut! It is the last line, ie the other side of the road and 300 m from the beach. Advantage but you are more calm. And the beach is reached quickly.
We'll see the beach ... disappointment: the beach is very nice, but finds stones at low tide.
And Lanta disadvantage, especially as the sea was very violent, there are big waves.
So no one bathes.
And I turn around. We find a young French couple that Domi and Christian had met in Phi Phi. And also other French, there are here.
Well, nothing Folichon. Very bad first impression. An isolated Resort. Without bike can not move, a sea inospitaliere ... my Morale is down, I do not Lanta!
The sunset is quite beautiful, but the sea always violent
We went to dinner in a restaurant straw hut, a little more up the road to avoid the hotel. But same prices. Here c is more expensive than Phi Phi, because, at least in Phi Phi there are choices of restaurants. Here it is blocked.
the evening, my little neighborhood of bamboo huts, quiet is disturbed by people who installed on their terrace and speak loudly. Especially a guy with a deep voice and strong. It should be Swedish because the sound of his language was very hard.
