Thailand. Land of smiles. It truly is. Situated
between Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Malaysia. Thailand looks like an elephant.
Northern part is elephants right ear, northeast is the left ear. Capital Bangkok is elephants eye and southern
peninsula is the trunk. No wonder Thailand’s
national animal is elephant.
This is not my first time in land of smiles. But it is
my first time in southern part of it. I love it. Koh Lanta Yai is full of
nature’s beauties. Wild monkeys, mangrove forests, jungle, white sand beaches and
of course Andaman sea. Island covers area of 80 km² and has population of 10,000. Andaman sea offers amazing opportunities to snorkel,
dive and enjoy clean waters.
Trips to Koh Muuk and Koh Haa are great for
relaxing and snorkeling. Phi Phi, Railay and Koh Lipe are just a boat ride
away.Coral reefs are full of life. Even this is not the
Great Barrier reef, but still it offers dozens of different fish species and
other forms of life. On Koh Muuk you can
swim true 80 m tunnel and discover hidden paradise and beach.Great experience.
Beaches are beautiful and there are plenty of them. Beaches are peaceful. No need to hassle with beach
vendors, because there is practically none of them. But you have to take beach at it comes, no sun
beds available. Just raw beach.
After sunset, it’s time for beer or two. There is a
nice variety of bars and restaurants available. From British pub to Thai style
bamboo bars. Class A -restaurants or street food. Listening live music or chilling
at the beach bar.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money. Living costs
are low. Lunch will cost you about 150 THB. That’s cheap and Thai food is so
good. Food stalls offer even cheaper treats. Thai style banana pancakes with
chocolate dressing cost around 30 THB. Yummy.
Overall, this is a place worth of visit. Pack your
bags and it will be your winter home also. Truly amazing Asia is waiting.
