Richard mentioned Koh Lanta and I was wondering if this topic could be extended. We are planning another trip to Phuket but I have read all I can on the net about Koh Lanta and would appreciate any opinions from people who have first hand knowledge. Would like to know if it is OK in the low season and are there more snorkelling opportunities that are offered off Phuket ?- sorry but the massive number of speedboats to Phi Phi just makes me really depressed and saddened by the lack of protection for the environment. One of these trips makes you feel like you are part of a factory production line.
Ideas for hotels would also be useful on Koh Lanta.
Thanks
