farewell Pimalai - hello Bangkok !.... & psst... we saw where the Phantom lives....

Well we have our last few hours in paradise........ a sad day but we are a bit excited about getting to Bangers so there are no tears.  On the trip back we took a few snaps.

The local huts on the hill.

Pimalai cat & resort in the background - our bungalow is the closest one to the cat.

Old Lanta Town from sea & an old cargo boat.
And perhaps our most surprising find... Phantom Island !!!!!   Seriuosly - he has to live here !

 Another transfer in a limo... could easily get used to this tho Mel was a bit "sweaty" about the local drivers & their "overtaking skills"....




Once again we arrived to a creation on our bed - this one does take the cake tho....

 The trip from the airport to the hotel was crazy - there appears to be very little in the way of road rules but some pretty clever drivers.  We saw a young girl "sans helmet" in peak hour traffic - riding her moped one handed while texting.   This was only outdone buy the bloke riding his moped with no hands... tho at least he was wearing a helmet.
Having said all that - we got to the hotel safe & sound & did not see a single accident.  Within 30mins we were of course in the adjourning shopping centre - the MBK.  2 hours of shopping earned me an italian dinner which was brilliant !
The view from the 20th floor is ok too.....
