Caught a ferry to Phi Phi, and then another to Kho Lanta. Although a longer trip its a lot cheaper than going direct. Temperature is in the 30°C range, but with a nice sea breeze.
Its the high season until the end of April, so prices are higher, still, managed to find a place between the more popular locations, a sort of no man's land, left alone by the party elements. We can access them with a few hundreds of metres walk. (Don't think they can stagger that far). Means we have a quiet night, and an isolated beach area. Marvellous.
Place we are staying is called 'Wonderful Resort'. It's okay, breakfast, room with a fan, bathroom, and an area to sit outside. £14 a night, a bargain for this time of year!!
A bit dated and in need of some TLC, paint, clean blanket, and some basic 'snag' work, e.g fix toilet seat, empty fridge from last occupants stuff, white and not grey towels, overhaul of the fan, (clicks, rattles, makes strange noises), but still.... On looking else where discovered we had in fact a bargain.
Have our own clean sheets/liners, sorted fridge, reduced some of the fan noise, changed towles. Sorted.....
Buy a lot of our stuff (beer, crisps, biscuits, odds and ends) from the local 7, 11 shops. For the cost of two beers at a bar we can buy a stack of stuff, plus two beers, and still have change.
There are a number of very good eating establishments. Good meal + drinks, around £8 - 9, for two. Find that breakfast and dinner is sufficient food in this climate. Just how many calories can you burn sunbathing, lol.
Leave you with some photos. Yvonne asleep on the ferry; awake on the ferry; Wonderful Resort; our bit of beach; having a cool drink.
