With time against us to make it to Bangkok before heading on to Myanmar, we decided to give some of the other islands a miss as we needed to keep moving. This sadly meant we didn't make it to Koh Ngai or Koh Rok, two of the other Trang islands that would have made for great stops to explore. Koh Ngai is similar in feel to Koh Kradan and looked beautiful from the boat, and Koh Rok is well known as a great snorkeling spot.
Our next stop was the subtantially larger Koh Lanta. Taking around one hour to drive from the north to the south, it was world's away from the small islands we had become accustomed to. If you'd come from Phi Phi, Phuket or Koh Tao, Koh Panyang etc. I think you would find Koh Lanta to be quiet and a welcome calm, but as we had been spoilt with the beauty and the peace of the small southern isles we found Koh Lanta to have less clear turquoise waters than we had been previously enjoying (yes we have now become what you would probably term beach snobs!).
