There are countless beautiful beaches to chose from in South Thailand. For us we wanted somewhere with great food, snorkeling and fewer people . Koh Lanta fit the bill perfectly for us. Where staying at the super cute Lanta Mermaid Boutique House just across the street from Klong Dao Beach on the North/ West end of the Island. The staff here have been incredible and the price was fantastic! It's the first time we've spent Christmas abroad just the two of us so sometimes it was sad when we considered everything we were missing back home, especially our friends and family. While we miss everybody a lot we had a fantastic time over the holidays! The locals in South Thailand are mostly Muslim and Buddhist so they don't celebrate Christmas themselves but with the influx of visitors from Europe and North America they do it up for our benefit. It was a funny sight while having dinner on the beach Christmas Eve and seeing dozens of board short wearing, sun burnt people rocking santa hats. Christmas day we had a great skype with both of our families after breakfast before heading to the beach. It was the nicest day we've had since arriving to Thailand! Sunny, slight breeze and beautiful. We spent the morning reading and swimming. We went for an incredible $10.00 massage at one of the many beach side massage places before having a tasty Thai lunch with our feet in the sand at Easy Bar. Klong Dao beach has life figured out! That night we headed back to the beach and ate at Koala, another feet in the sand beach side restaurant and celebrated Christmas with some flaming Fajitas and a beer for dinner. We've got another week to explore the island and neighboring reefs so a lot more adventures to be come!
Merry Christmas!
