Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le
had a great trip down south to Koh Lanta for New year... bit of a drive though... 12 hours down and 14 back.. arrived home at 2.45am this morning and came into work well shattered at 8am... but well worth it.. we had a great time and saw some wonderful scenery and managed a day trip to the Phi Phi islands which included a trip to 'the Beach'... hope you enjoy the photos...

on the first ferry to Koh Lanta.. (2 short ferry crossings)

visited another beach on Phi Phi Le... 'monkey beach'... full of monkeys it was... there's one sittin' with a beer...

another view of Phi Phi Le... beautiful it is... got loads of beautiful photos... too many to put on here..
Click the image to open in full size.

then back to Koh Lanta......

a good trip but the Phi Phi islands IMO are spoiled now and way too commercial... good to see that Phi Phi Don has recovered financially from the tsunami though many of the people of the island will bear the mental scars for many years to come.. god bless them all....

day3 of the trip was of course hogmanay and i'll post these pics later... i need some lunch now....

Re: Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le
Great shots, r. I've never been to Lanta, but I've been to Phi Phi twice. My first time was at Songkran right after the tsunami. It was almost deserted as only a few of the resorts were rebuilt. I went back for the one year anniversary and it was packed, crowded and full of loud drunk tourists.

I did get to know quite a few of the local business owners and workers during Songkran and they were having a really rough time then.

Re: Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le
Nice pics mate .

I've only ever visited as a virtual tourist.

I can still here those words, though,



"I can hear it calling you

I'm comin' not drowning, swimming closer to you

Never been here before

I'm intrigued, I'm unsure

I'm searching for more"

How refreshing it is to see pics of moderators dusky bikini clad girlfriends.

And with no fear whatsoever of people jumping to conclusions.

Splendid.
