Vi mår bra på Koh Lanta

Koh Lanta. A dream if you are a swede, want to speak swedish and hang out with other swedes. You can eat swedish meatballs and munch swedish candies (a diving shop here really does has imported lösgodis). Even our hotel's bar played swedish reggae. Heja heja! We didn't stay there long.

So this is an excellent chance for us to be unsocial again. That's a good thing in finns, if we hear that somebody speaks finnish in the next table, we speak in lower tone so they don't notice. The swedes on the other hand pull their tables together and act like they've known each others for years. I prefer the first option, I can see enough finns in Finland.

Otherwise Koh Lanta is actually a nice laid back island. I finally went for thai massage and the little lady tried to tie me into a knot. That was excellent, might have to go back tomorrow. And today we'll head to a thai boxing stadium but this time we'll get tickets for the locals area, I assume on the ring side the most common language is swedish. Nej tack.

We'll stay here until Monday and then it's time to move on towards Krabi. We booked a ferry directly to Railay, where I'll probably stay when Tanja flies back home on Wednesday. Or if it's also full of swedes I might head to Phuket and be social among the finns. Not.

Tomorrow we might rent a scooter and drive around the island for a day. The last time I drove a moped was 15 years ago. I'm more scared than Tanja who's the passenger. Keep your fingers crossed.
