We woke and decided to hire a scooter to explore the island. The scooter hire was just on the main road. The lady was lovely there so we booked our tickets for the next day to George Town, Malaysia with her. At first the scooter seemed like a genius idea because we drive to another beach a little further up from where we were staying and had a gorgeous breakfast on the beach. We donned the helmets and I held on to Lee as he took off further along the road. When...

Whilst we were on the boat a man came over asking if we had accomodation. We told him no so he whipped out his portfolio. We have him our budget so he gave us a price of 800bahts, on a resort! We excepted then just told him outright, when he asked for payment, no. We told him we wouldn't pay a penny until we arrived because what's to stop him walking off when the boat docks.

We all looked at each other.... Then the man made a gesture with his hand to say get off so we did. It was monkey island. As we wal...

We got off the boat, after routing for our bags in the mound at the back of the (some people stay on to go to Koh Lanta so their bags are mixed in and ours were at the bottom) then dragged the bags along the pier. Mid way down the pier there's a fee to get on the island of 20bahts pp. At the end of the pier and start of the town there are people trying to pull you in to arrange accomodation. As we didn't have any and it was roasting I walked over to have a look. ...
