After the excessive alcohol consumption and partying, I’ve come to the big chilled island of Koh Lanta for a couple of days, staying in the town of Saladan. The place is also called ‘Little Sweden’ by locals and you’ll see why; many Swedish restaurants are around, and it does indeed bring in the Swedish tourists to boot.. nearly everyone is blonde! I’m meeting up with a few girls whom I’d befriended before; Karis, Alex, Emily and Katrina. Once I arrive, I figure out how small the town actually is, and within 10 minutes I’ve pretty much seen all there is to see. All I can say for this is that I’m glad I had the company of the girls, or I would have been bored bored, so fucking bored! Everything is so relaxed here though; waiting over an hour to board the small ferry will definitely slow your heart rate down to something that’s more common here.
We’re staying in Lanta House; a low cost, awesome guesthouse. You’ll get a nice private room for $4, with a shared bathroom. They offer free tee, coffee and drinking water and the folks who run the place are incredibly friendly also; the woman in particular being very eager to teach guests some Thai. She showed us how to bargain the locals down while being respectful, but unfortunately it seems like a case of too little too late, as I’ll be flying to Malaysia in a couple of days. This place also has two friendly and gorgeous cats that are on leashes in the common room. On top of all of this, they offer cheap bikes /scooters to rent, as well as prices for busses out of the island. I heard that you can also get a cheap beachside hotel, but I fully recommend Lanta House!

Sounds ridiculously cheap!
