Na Thai International, ka lima kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa o ka mokulele mokulele, a maikaʻi loa ka lawelawe a me nā lako. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui ʻē aʻe, lele lākou ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Suvarnabhumi. 

ʻOiai ua wehe ʻia nā wahi āpau ma Thailand no nā mākaʻikaʻi āpau a ua noa ke huakaʻi i ka ʻāina. He koho nā masks, akā naʻe, ma nā wahi lehulehu. ʻOiai e lele ana, aia nō ke kauoha e ʻaʻahu ana i ka mask e hahai ai nā kānaka a pau. 

Hele mākou i ke kahua mokulele, me ka makemake e hoʻomaka i ka huakaʻi. ʻO ka manawa lele ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola mai Bangkok a i KRABI.

Me he mea lā ua pau ka lele i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai, no laila he hoʻolauna ʻoluʻolu kēia i ka hema o Thailand. 

Tlanakila ʻo Lotus Resort & Spa Koh Lanta - Deluxe Beachfront Villa

I ka hōʻea ʻana i Krabi, hoʻihoʻi koke mākou i kā mākou ukana. Ua hui ʻia mākou e 'Noon' ʻōlelo Pelekania, kekahi o nā mea hoʻokele hōkele mai ka Twin Lotus Resort, a ua neʻe mākou ma ke ala i ka hōkele, kahi huakaʻi ma kahi o 1.5 mau hola, me kahi hoʻomaha ma kahi wahi lawelawe.

He 4×4 maʻemaʻe ke kaʻa, a maikaʻi loa ke awakea. Ua ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o ka huakaʻi me ka holo ʻana o ka ferry pōkole he 10 mau minuke mai ka ʻāina nui a i ka mokupuni. 

I ka wā i haʻalele ai mākou mai ka moku kaʻa ma Koh Lanta Noi, hele mākou i Koh Lanta Yai (Noi ʻo ia ka liʻiliʻi, ʻo Yai ke ʻano nui). Holo mākou i 20 mau minuke i ka hale hoʻokipa, ma ke alahaka e pili ana i ka mokupuni liʻiliʻi i ka mokupuni nui. ʻO ka mokupuni nui, ʻo Koh Lanta Yai, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Koh Lanta wale nō, no ka mea ʻo ia ka wahi mākaʻikaʻi alakaʻi o ka moku a ʻo ia ka home o ka heluna nui loa.

He mea kū hoʻokahi ʻo Koh Lanta no ka mea ua hui pū ʻo ia i ka hoʻokipa hema o Thai me ka lewa mokupuni utopian maʻamau o Asia. He moʻomeheu waiwai ʻo Koh Lanta ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā malihini he nui, e like me ka poʻe Kina, Muslim, a me nā gypsies moana.

Ma muli o ka maʻalahi o Koh Lanta, he leʻaleʻa ka ʻimi ʻana; leʻaleʻa mākou i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā wahi hou, nā kahakai mehameha, nā meaʻai ʻono, nā kumukūʻai kūpono, a me nā wahi ʻāina maoli. Nui nā mea e ʻike ai, a uhi ka mokupuni i 340 km² (sq km) o ka ʻāina. 

He 76 lumi lumi Twin Lotus Resort & Spa he waiwai kanaka makua wale no, he hale hoku 4.5. He kapuaʻi pōkole ko mākou villa mai ke kahakai. 

Noho ka hale hoʻokipa ma kahi kai kūʻono maikaʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka mokupuni. Ua hui ʻia mākou e ka luna nui hōkele ʻo Khun Biggs me kāna ʻakaʻaka ākea a me kona ʻano aloha. Hāʻawi koke ka hui mua o ka hale iā mākou i kahi kāwele anu hoʻokipa a me kahi mea inu lāʻau Thai ʻoluʻolu. Ua alakaʻi ʻia mākou i ko mākou hale kahakai ma kekahi o nā kaʻa kolepa lehulehu o ka hōkele.


ʻO ka waiwai me kona ala kaʻa ponoʻī he hoʻi mālie a ʻoluʻolu. Maikaʻi a mālama ʻia, ʻo ka hale hoʻokipa kahi puʻu o ka maluhia a me ka mālie. ʻO ke ʻano a puni, a maʻemaʻe a maʻemaʻe ka ea - kahi hoʻomaha nui mai ke ola kūlanakauhale.  

ʻO 10 mau minuke wale nō ka Sala Dan Pier, kahi awa paʻa a me kahi mea hoʻohiwahiwa no ka pō. ʻO kēia kahi e hōʻea ai nā moku holo kiʻekiʻe a haʻalele. E hele mai nā Ferries mai Phi Phi, Koh Lipe, a i ʻole ka moku pilikino i Sala Dan Pier. Ua kipa mākou i ke ao, no laila ua mālie. ʻO ka maʻamau, he hive o ka hana; akā, ma hope o Covid, ua noho mālie.

ʻO kēia wahi kahi uapo lawaiʻa liʻiliʻi me nā waʻa nui he nui i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka huakaʻi a me nā hoʻoili. He mokuahi hou me nā hale ʻai iʻa, nā kaola, a me nā hale ʻai, a me nā hale kūʻai liʻiliʻi like ʻole no nā mea hoʻomanaʻo a me nā trinkets.

Ua hoʻolako maikaʻi ʻia nā lumi ʻo Twin Lotus Resort & Spa me nā hale nani.

Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia lumi he TV uwea pāhaʻi, kahi minibar, a me kahi palekana. Hāʻawi ʻia kahi ipu uila a me kahi mea maloʻo lauoho. ʻO nā lumi a pau he en suite, me ka ea a me ka WiFi manuahi. Loaʻa i nā lumi nā balconies pilikino.

He mea maikaʻi loa ka ʻauʻau ʻauʻau ʻaoʻao kahakai, a he hale hoʻoikaika kino pū kekahi a me kahi pākaukau mākaʻikaʻi kahi e hiki ai i nā malihini ke kākau i nā huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi.  

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i ka lomilomi hoʻomaha a me nā ʻano lapaʻau ākea ma ka spa a i ʻole ka hoʻomaha ʻana ma ka wai ʻauʻau. 

Ua makemake mākou i ka meaʻai ma ka hale hoʻomaha. Ua ʻai mākou i nā meaʻai a pau ma ʻaneʻi, ma ka hale ʻaina kahakai a me ka pā. Kūlana nā manaʻo, a ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hui lawelawe a me ka papa honua. 

Kūleʻa ka hale ʻaina i ka meaʻai Thai, ka iʻa iʻa hou loa, a me kahi koho maikaʻi o nā punahele komohana ʻono. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ke chef, a nani wale ʻo ia! 

He nani ka villa, aia ma kahakai. Paʻa ponoʻī me kahi patio waho nui nani me nā moena lā a me nā lours. Ke nānā aku nei ka pā hale villa i ke kai kūʻono a he mau kapuaʻi wale nō ia mai ka lihi o ka wai. Ua kanu ka hale hoʻokipa i nā kumulāʻau he nui no ka malu a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, me nā paina kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻala maikaʻi loa, ʻo ia hoʻi i ke kakahiaka nui a me ke ahiahi.

He ʻoluʻolu loa ka villa a loaʻa iā ʻoe nā mea a pau āu e makemake ai no kahi hoʻomaha kahakai kahakai. ʻO ka hoʻolālā kūloko eco-friendly he maʻamau a ʻoluʻolu. Nui ka nui o nā lumi ʻauʻau, a ʻo ka ʻauʻau hele wāwae he palatial. 

Ua makemake nui mākou i nā hiʻohiʻona nani mai nā puka makani papahele a hiki i ke kaupaku e uhi ana i nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka lumi, e ʻae ana i ka mālamalama e kahe mai me ka ʻupena a me nā pale e hoʻoheheʻe mālie i kahi no ka pilikino a me ka manawa hiamoe. 

ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke kali e makaʻala - no laila, i ka wehe ʻana i kahi hapa, hele mākou e hele wāwae ma kahakai, ma mua o ka loko wai ʻole o ka hōkele a me ke kahakai kahakai - ua hauʻoli mākou.

He aha kāu e hana ai ma Koh Lanta?

Koh Lanta Thailand

Ua lawe mākou i ka manawa e kipa aku ai iā Lanta Batik, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka mokupuni liʻiliʻi a holo ʻia e kahi ʻohana ikaika loa i alakaʻi ʻia e Mr. Saichon Langu koʻikoʻi.

Lanta Batik 

ʻO kāna mau hana noʻeau a no laila ua kūʻai mākou i ʻekolu ʻāpana batik e hoʻohana ʻia no nā makana Kalikimaka no ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha. Uku mākou ma lalo o Baht 400 (US$11) i kēlā me kēia. 

Ma hope o ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka hale kūʻai hale kūʻai, holo mākou ma kahi o hoʻokahi kilomita ma lalo o ke alanui e huli i kahi ala lōʻihi i Tae Laeng, kahi hōʻailona ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania i heluhelu ʻia 'Ancient House.' 

Ua kūkulu ʻia e ka poʻe Kina i ka makahiki 1953 a he nani kona nānā ʻana i ka wai. ʻAʻole noho hou ka hale a me ka pā; akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻopili ʻia ka waiwai colonial-style a hoʻi i ka wā kahiko. Aia ma ke kihi o ka pā he wahi ilina ʻohana liʻiliʻi i mālama ʻia a kipa ʻia me nā hōʻike o nā pua a me nā makana i nā kūpuna i mahalo ʻia. 

ʻO ka tractor kahiko ʻo Koh Lanta Thailand

Ua ʻike pū mākou i ka haʻalele ʻana o ka ʻohana i nā mea mahiʻai i ko lākou noho ʻana ma ʻaneʻi, me kahi tractor ʻōpala akā paʻa loa i hoʻohana ʻia e huki i nā waʻa mai ka wai.

ʻAʻole e pau ka kipa ʻana iā Koh Lanta me ka ʻole e kipa aku i ka Mu Ko Lanta National Park Center ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka mokupuni nui. Nui ka poʻe e kipa i ka hale kukui ma ka puʻu a hauʻoli i nā ʻike o ke kahakai a me ke Kai Andaman. ʻO kēia ʻāpana o Koh Lanta kahi ʻāpana o ka National Park, e uhi ana i kekahi mau mokupuni, me Koh Lanta Noi a me Koh Lanta Yai. Aia ma Laem Tanod ke keʻena nui o ka paka ʻāina a me ka poʻe malihini kipa, kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā ala hele wāwae, nā kahakai nani, a me nā monkey.

Hele mākou ma ke kaʻa me ke alakaʻi alakaʻi ʻole o ke awakea. He 26km ka huakaʻi mai Twin Lotus a ma kahi o 50 mau minuke. He huakaʻi kupanaha ia ma ke alanui kahakai ma nā kauhale liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻeke hoihoi o ke ola kuaʻāina eclectic.

ʻAʻole mākou i wikiwiki a kū pinepine e paʻi kiʻi a hele wāwae. Noʻu, he kiʻi maikaʻi loa ia o ke ola mokupuni. Ua ʻike ʻia ka haʻaheo civic o ka poʻe mokupuni i ko lākou puni. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i nā ʻōpala, a ua kūkulu maikaʻi ʻia nā alanui a mālama ʻia. 

I ka hōʻea ʻana i ke kikowaena paka aupuni, ʻike mua ʻoe i ka hale kukui, ka māla botanical, a me ke kai kūʻono nani. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae a puni ka pā ma waena o nā lāʻau pāma kiʻekiʻe a me kahi hoʻomoana. 

Ua piha kēia paka 134 square km i nā ana, nā hiʻohiʻona, a me ka nui o nā holoholona hihiu. Wahi a ka National Park, ʻoi aku ma mua o 130 mau ʻano manu i hiki ke loaʻa ma ka mālama kūlohelohe. 

Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka wā, ʻo kēia ʻāpana o Koh Lanta kahi wahi maikaʻi loa no ka snorkeling a me ka luʻu scuba me kona wai maʻemaʻe a me nā koʻa.

I ko mākou huakaʻi hoʻi, kipa mākou i ke kūlanakauhale kahiko i ko mākou holo ʻana i ka ʻākau a laila hikina. I ka hōʻea ʻana mai, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻia au i nā hale colonial-style o Penang a me George Town a me nā mana koʻikoʻi Kina. 

ʻO Lanta Old Town, aia ma ke kahakai hikina o Koh Lanta, ʻo ia ke awa nui o ka mokupuni no ke kālepa. I kēia manawa, ʻo Lanta Old Town kahi wahi hoihoi e kipa aku ai, ʻo ke alanui hele wāwae kahi i paʻa ai nā hale he nui i ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona lāʻau kumu, e like me ke kū ʻana no 60 mau makahiki. 

Hiki iā ʻoe ke noho ma Lanta Old Town, akā liʻiliʻi ka poʻe e koho no ka mea aia ia ma ke kahakai hikina o ka mokupuni, ʻaʻohe kahakai. Aia nā kahakai a pau ma Koh Lanta ma ke kahakai komohana o Koh Lanta Yai.

ʻO Lanta Old Town ke awa a

hale kalepa no ka mokupuni, he hale leta kona, ke keena makai, na luakini Buddhist, a me ka halemai o ka mokupuni. 

ʻO ka uapo lōʻihi a me ke awa i hāʻawi i kahi awa palekana no nā moku kālepa Arabic a me Kina e holo ana ma waena o nā awa nui o Phuket, Penang, a me Singapore. 

Ua mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā alanui kūʻai a me nā hele wāwae ma ʻaneʻi. Maʻemaʻe maoli ka wahi, a makemake wau i kahi kipa no ka mākaʻikaʻi a kūʻai paha inā ʻoe e kipa ana iā Koh Lanta.
