Koh Lanta

For our full day on Lanta we hired scooters to get us around. Nick's first time and he liked it... lots!

Classic Thailand longboat, complete with patriotic flags

We found a snake farm on our travels. It was the first time we'd seen snakes up close to decided to check it out. Unfortunately the guys running it were more obsessed about saying "Teeth and poison, yes" than actually treating their animals well.

"Poison yes" was repeated a few times as they milked a cobra for us to see

And they also draped a very large python across us. He wasn't impressed about being passed around like a toy, so I'm glad they held onto his head... Although again a bit sad he wasn't friendly enough to hold properly.

Another, smaller python, very beautiful markings :)

They also had a monkey called Joey. He liked banana cake and Cath's bracelet.

The east of the Island has lots of mangrove swaps so we had a look around

Time for a classic example of a sign written in 'English'. It's nearly as bad as mine :P

More Mudskippers

I got a video of one doing it's thing too :)

We also saw Archer Fish for the first time. These dudes shoot flies out of the air and into the water with near perfect accuracy and Cath even saw it happen :)

In both Phi Phi and Lanta storm clouds seem to follow the setting sun and pour down for 15 mins every night. The clouds were always very impressive and once you get used to the timing of it not much of an issue :)

Our last sunset on Lanta was yet another good one. A bit more cloud but still very scenic :) We had a quick ride home on the bikes after watching it go down, to get back before the rain!

In the morning it was time to head south again, to Langkawi in Malaysia.

Good bye Thailand, it was nice to meet you!
