One Day With Koh Lanta & Lanta Divers...

Now we have been on Koh Lanta for 5 nights and we have been diving all the time. We stayed at Nakara Beach Resort which is a very nice and big resort just on the beach with plenty of bungalows and three swimmingpools. Apollo has Nakara as one of their hotels so it´s alot of swedish people here and we can highly recommend this place, location is awsome, the staff is great, the food is super and you can get a massage very cheap if you want so just great things to say about Nakara.

Before we came to Koh Lanta we came in contact with Simon Ramsden which has Andaman Adventures in Ao Nang and he set us up with Lanta Divers so we could dive for free. Lanta Divers is a swedishown dive-centre. We have been out on the sea for four whole days and it has been totally wounderful with great diving, good food, nice staff, special our divemaster Alex who we dived for all four days. We have seen everything from banded sea-snake, clownfish to turtles. Thanks so very much for these great four days Lanta Divers, Maj-Britt (owner) and Alex (divemaster). When our last day was over we took a beer together with Alex, Jonas and Marlene, Jonas and Marlene were our divebuddies for the last two days. Alex also donated 1000 baht to our Childhood Cancer Foundation fond and we are very greatful for this, thanks man.

One night were we invited to Relax Bay Resort by their owner Didier for dinner. Didier (France) is awsome and the last year he drove a tuk tuk (threewheeled) from Thailand to Sweden and the next year he will drive a longtailboat from Thailand to Sweden. He have been in 120 different countries. We had a great dinner which contained barracuda sushi, macerell with mashed potato and creme brulé for dessert. Didier is working on his website right now and when it´s finished I will put it under "friends" on my website so you all can follow his crazy trip.

We also went to Muay Thai which is Thai boxing and the national sport here in Thailand. It was nine fights but noone were pretty good so we were quite disapointed after.

Next stop is Ao Nang to meet Simon on Andaman Adventures and he will take us climbing, abseiling and some other things and we really looking forward to this. We have also been invited to stay at The Cliff Resort which we stayed at when Fille was visiting and we really liked this place so it will be awsome.
