Long beach, long days and long nights. Really nothing to do except relax and swim. Even though we knew it was out of season, we are only a WEEK out of season and there really aren't any people around at all. The odd few Thai tourists who are having their own summer holiday, but that's really it. Oh, and loads of dogs. Pretty much reckon Koh Lanta must mean 'Island of Dogs' - there are bloody loads of dogs and it's really funny as they all hook up on the beach at sunset and have a play.
As such it already feels like we've been here for ages and that London and the real world is a million miles away.
Currently reading Room with a View but this isn't the Richard and Judy book club so that's all you're getting from me on that.
We're staying in a beach hut where the only sound is the cicadas, the wind through the palm trees and the inexorable sound of the sea hitting the ledge of sand on the beach every ten seconds or so. It really is very tranquil and utterly beautiful. In the distance are lots of islands jutting up from the sea, how many you can see depends on how hazy it is with humidity which is generally very very high (can't take many pictures because the minute you open the camera the lens steams up).
Oh and the sound of Club Tropicana coming out of my ipod speakers :-)
Does my bum look big on this beach?! That's supposed to be a gag. No comments please!

Hope you're saying "Phew, it's like a sauna out here..." lots.
Must be great in a way to see it all out of season. You get the tranquility that most people seek but don't find because so many other people are looking for it. All in exchange for a little bit of warm rain.
I think the next plague on the list is lice according so just be careful whose comb you share...
