Lantoon Lagoon and “Pants Man”









My bum is still bad I’m afraid so won’t be going diving this holiday. And guess what? I now have the shits as well.

We did decide to go to the beach today and the place is called Lantoon and guess what? There is yet another Amphitheatre there. There must have been allot of Christians living around this area to support so much entertainment when the Romans were here. Shortly after Lantoon you cross the river and the road then track follows it to the sea where there is a very long sandy beach that goes all the way to Pataya. Unfortunately we couldn’t walk very far as we had the river in the way. I suppose there must be a way across it somewhere back along the track, but never mind we did see Pants Man while we were there.

We decided to head back to the mountains for lunch at Chops in the mountains where Claire had Chicken Chops and I had Lamb chops. Not so good today, the best place for chops so far has been Kalsan kebabs. In fact we will have a night out tonight around the harbour night. We are almost at the end of our holiday and so far only had one night out so we are quite looking forward to it.

On our way back down the mountain Claire wanted to stop and look at the log cabins with a pool called hidden gardens. The lady showed us around the two styles that they have; very nice with a tv, aircon, pool and they even have a trout pool fed by the same mountain stream that supports all the other trout pools down this mountain; no wonder they are so cheap in this area. They are charging about £50 per night but that includes breakfast and evening meal; a lovely little place with nice gardens.

When we got back we had a cool off in the pool; that was until Claire’s new best friend came out with Turkish coffee and to entice Claire to have a sneaky cigarette. Ohh no, she will be back smoking again before we get back. Bad luck Harriet and Shane, looks like you won’t be getting your duty frees after all. Hope we still got a lift home from Luton!
