A Beach Bar Sunset in Koh Lanta

Greetings,

While in Thailand in October – November of 2009, I took a trip to Koh Lanta. It’s in the Andaman Sea on the western coast of Thailand. It’s a really relaxed predominantly Muslim island that is near Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. Often people come here to relax as it has a really chilled out slow pace of life compared to the other two islands.

I stayed at the Blue Andaman Resort which is a nice place for about 500b a night. Big clean room, hot shower and A/C. It had this beach bar with some really cool staff. The sunsets from the bamboo beach bar were epic, this is one of them that I captured.  Used to love just sitting there with my cold beer, relaxation & self actualization station.

While there I met a Swiss family, the gent was about 12 years older than myself and we got along great. He traveled most of the world and gave me lots of tips. If I wasn’t sick while in Switzerland, I would have contacted him. Hopefully I turn out like him, he’s banking coin with a beautiful wife, family and thriving business.

Will next time, if there is a next time?

I loved this island, I’m sure you can see why.

Cordially,
