We left the hotel at 8am and got a minibus to the ferry port. The plan was to get a ferry to Koh Phi Phi and then get another to Koh Lanta where we'd be staying for a couple of nights. We wanted to stay on Koh Phi Phi as it's supposedly got the best beaches but due to a lack of time had to bypass it. We arrived on Koh Lanta at 1pm and the weather was really strange, really hazy.

After checking out we got a minibus and headed to Patong in Phuket for a couple of nights. It took 4 hours to get there which isn't bad by Asian standards. If on English roads, it would have taken just over 2 hours. Everything takes a lot longer here. We arrived at the hotel at 4pm. We decided to have a break from hostels for a couple of nights as we wanted our own space and own bathroom so it was nice. We went for a walk around Patong after checking in, it's l...
