 ok this won't hurt a
bit.... by willy_wonka
thai massage is where they stretch and flex your muscles, using an ancient form of the massage which has been passed down through hundreds of years. it is the traditional thai way of doing the massage. i think i'll just stick to a nice swedish massage thanks! here in the pic, you can see kay getting twisted and pummelled and pulled and kneaded. ouch!

one thing about the beaches on ko lanta is that around 1pm or there abouts, the tide falls. as the tide recedes, huge clumps of rock and coral formations appear on the beach. this makes the beach not look very attractive at all, and swimming isn't really an option, unless you go far out.
but for me, i loved this. in the morning, you have your typical 'perfect beach' scene, by the afternoon, there is a different kind of beach! i spent many an hour exploring the rock pools and little caves, checking out tropical fish, crabs and other sea creatures. armed with my flip flops, i could walk along coral and rocks that are under the sea, but were now exposed. some of the bright blue fish i saw were awesome, and something i will never forget!
it's nice to have two totally different beaches in the one day! Leave a Comment

 diving @ Ko Ha by don_thomas
The diving school where I did all my diving with was Lanta Diver. It's a Swedish company from origin with many instructors from all over the world. Man, it's well organised there! They arrange diving trips to Ko Ha, Ko Bida and Hin Dueng. You leave at 7 or 8 o'clock, depending on your destination. Breakfast and fantastic Thai lunch is served on the boat and lots of fruit on the way back.

 beach @ ko jum by jenniferchin
I bought a return boat ticket from Saladan, Ko Lanta for 170 bhat. I had to take the ferry that goes to Krabi and hop off halfway. So, there I was on the ferry ~ very excited about this outing as I have been wanting to check this place out. Its still pretty much secluded (not much info on the internet) and sounded pretty pristine to me ... and I was so right !
The boat ride took about an hour and I was on the beach at 9am. Ko Jum is very very laidback, hardly any development over on the (west) beach, save for a few bungalows. Just the sound of the wind and the waves.
I basked in the sun until noon .. or rather, until it got too hot. I lazed about in the restaurant over at New Bungalows until about 3pm. That was when I had to take my boat back to Ko Lanta. Leave a Comment

well lanta is one of the more less -touristy islands of thailand, so there isn't a whole lot to do here. basically, there is the beach. alot of beach! most of our days were spent laying on the sand, going for a swim in the warm seas, and sitting under palm trees playing sudoku puzzles. lol Leave a Comment

 MY TATTOO-Koh Lanta. by mamasan69
The process that lead up to the actual tattoo involved quite a few Chang(beer) and then deciding where to get it on our bodies. The tattoos were done at a place called Bamboo Tattoo, which was located next to the Lanta Sunny House. The tattoo shop is run by four brothers, who also own the bar which its located on.
My cousin was the first one to go after deciding on a wizard/moon design. He was in for about 11/2-2 hoursand his tattoo cost 3500bht. It was my turn next and after choosing what I wanted, it was time for the start of 3 hours of tattooing. The good part about it was that the needle started to dull about halfway, this gave me a chance to enjoy another Chang and then get back to business. By the time it was done my arm was asleep from the position I had to hold it, and I was 4500bht poorer. During the same time that I was in the shop, my brother snuck in and got his small tattoo done within an hour. His choice was the symbol of the Year of the Dragon, and he got it on his wrist(1500bht).
I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is interested in getting a tattoo done while they are in Thailand. There are a number of reasons for this, first they are very skilled and dedicated to doing a good job. The next day the brother that did my cousins tattoo, was getting a new one done by the guy that did mine. Second reason is that they do tattoos the traditional way, with a bamboo stick/needle, no machines. There is little pain and no bleeding and a person is able to swim again a day later. If you do get one keep it out of the sun (sunburn) and keep it lubed up with vasoline for about 10 days. This will keep it from fading and help heal it up.
I will go back to these guys again as they were very careful and excellent artists. My cousin even got a free touchup done to his the next day, no problem.* Leave a Comment Directions: Located near Long Beach about 20 minutes drive from the pier. They are next to the Lanta Sunny House about a 2 minute walk from the guesthouses.

 Ko Ngai by bijo69
We visted Ko Muk where you swim through a cave and come to a nice little beach (just like in "The Beach" by Alex Garland), Ko Ma and Ko Chuak with colourful soft coral and fish and Koh Ngai with a long sandy beach. Leave a Comment

Ko Rok is a twin island which is about a one hour ride by speedboat from Ko Lanta. It has the most beautiful beach I've seen in Thailand and snorkelling out there is amazing.
As it is a National Park, there are no hotels/guesthouses on the islands, but you can camp.
Ko Rok is also home to a big lizard species (forgot the name...).
I booked the tour with Opal Travel. It included the transfer by speedboat, a great lunch & free drinks and snorkelling equipment for 1300 THB. Highly recommended! Leave a Comment Phone: +66 75 684281
