On Ko Lanta we tried to find a cheap transfer to our next destination: Ko Libong.
The guy of the cheapest agency we found, got a bit confused and communication was not the easiest but after some changes to our plan, we went with a taxi to the mainland and then all the way direction Ko Libong.
On the ferry, there was a Thai very proud of how much fruits he was able to load on his pickup truck. He told me it was three tons. Maybe it was a translation mistake because three tons of fruits! It would be ridiculous. But on the other hand, that truck looked absolutely loaded. Even with huge leaf spring packs.
After the taxi, we took a short ride with a long tail boat and …
… arrived at our beach.
Especially on high tide, it was a wonderful and calm beach and our accommodation was very nice as well.
The last funny swimming goggles photo for our collection.
We gathered some other tourists in a big group and did a super nice snorkeling trip to a group of isolated, remote islands.
The trip took some time, …
… but then we arrived, …
… and Racki went off for her first proper snorkeling experience.
We had a good time.
The water was beautiful.
And the although there were other tourists groups around, it was never too crowded.
After hanging around, we had …
… a snack and went back.
Everybody was very happy with the trip and in the end some had seen a shark, some a stingray, and some a sea turtle.
Nice moon eclipse at the beach.
In contrast to Ko Lanta, Ko Libong was very calm and peaceful. Being closer to Malaysia, more locals were Muslims. Alcohol was less present, but available, and even Marijuana which has been really everywhere on the other islands, was very less around.
We enjoyed this calmness a lot.
And had such a good time together.
The trash had to get sorted and then driven back to the mainland. No clue what they were doing with it then, but the islands were all very clean.
And after some days on Ko Libong, we took a speedboat to our next destinations: Michele went to another small island and Racki and I continued to our final Thai climbing destination: Tonsai!
