stopped here for a bite and a coffee
so i checked the weather and it seemed there had been a depression knocking about, thats why we had a fair bit of rain, but it was due to clear over the next 24 hours so all good.
had a few beers and some food in the evening and a walk along the beach, skies had cleared and looked to be set for a nice day ahead !!!
i started going to Lanta 20 years ago when it was just red sand roads and the generators were turned of about 11 at night. I always stayed at Lanta Miami or Lanta Paradise down on Klong Nin.Over the last few years there have been many 5 star places built down there and the prices have gone crazy.
The same bungalows I paid 300- 400 bht about 7 yeras ago are now 4000 a night.
Great stuff SS. Never been down there so interesting to see. Thanks
Me either, never been there but would like to go for a look see.
Thing is, I'm fuked if I'm paying 1000baht for a bungalow with no A/c or hot water.
Any decent digs in the town mate ?
My boonga was 5000 a month in the off season and 10 in the on, AC.
Soon enough no one will go.
Back to 50 baht a night.
Cretins.
i paid 900 baht for a big aircon room at Il Mare Resort during low season. Prices are like 1500 baht for high.
lanta is really quiet. food is ok, beaches ok but lots of rubbish. it's mainly a couples island to just relax and shag. don't go there alone as there is little nightlife.
Nice one Sunny thanks for showing us around ,, I am very jealous of your lifestyle ,, good on ya mate !
BTW if you spent less time painting your toenails you might turn out a piece for the art thread
Well done for posting the pics and description. However, fucking awful place, and why would anybody actually want to go there?
Parts of Phuket are crap, but there are some places that are decent, and offer far more quality and enjoyment than what you've displayed.
Sad really, I've never been to Lanta, but my perception has been destroyed.
Ugh ... looks real hygenic ??
It ain't that bad. His photos are pretty shit. Have a look at this:
