Ko Lanta Yai 2007

On our recent trip (October 2007) to Ko Lanta Yai, an island in Krabi province in southern Thailand, we went sea-kayaking and snorkeling, rode an elephant, explored some magnificent caves (and swam in crystal pools in the caves), explored the island by motorbike, sampled the local Muslim cuisine, swam in the sea with phosphorecent dinoflagellates, and did some birdwatching (highlights included the white-bellied sea-eagle and asian fairy bluebird).

Our very moody elephant who was much more interested in exploring the jungle than staying on the path!

Traffic lights in Krabi town...one of the many natural wonders the Krabi area boasts are cave paintings and remains of Pleistocene hominids.
