Paradise Found?? Ko Lanta, South Thailand.

Posted By : Techhdarre

Koh Lanta

Nice Beach Resort…okay resort is pushing it. In fact Nice Beach ‘Resort’ consists of 13 Bungalow style rooms, right on the beach with an outdoor dining area and places to hang out near the beach…it was barely a week old. It was built by the village’s leader in his attempt to cash in on Ko Lanta’s blossoming popularity.

I arrived and must have been in a cranky mood because all I could think about was how disappointed I was that there was no volleyball net or an “ocean view” from my bungalow as promised in the brochure. It’s amazing how picky a person can get paying $4.00 a night!! Add to this the fact that I was the only solo traveller in amongst all the vacationing couples. I distinctly remembered thinking “Here I am in the middle of paradise and I’m miserable!!! What’s up with that???” I think it was because I was in a very romantic place surrounded by happy couples and I was conspicuously alone, something that would eventually work in my favour but at this moment it sucked being me. Anyhow it was a feeling I wouldn’t shake for at least a day.I had complained to a few of the English speaking resort staff about what they promised in the brochure i.e. volleyball net and sure enough the next day there was a volleyball net up on the beach!!! This impressed me that they actually listened to my concerns so I decided to give the place a chance.
