visited belatedly Nov 2014 There are non likewise many one-resort islands these days inwards Thailand. Even fewer amongst alone i
budget resort. And Bu Bu is the alone i I tin shout upwardly of amongst nada else on the isle - no village, roads or other activities.
Bu Bu is betwixt the less visited E coast of Ko Lanta together with the mainland. It is nearly a 6km tip from Old Lanta Town.
Ko Bu Bu far left from the wonderfully skilful value viewpoint eating theater on the cross-island route betwixt Klong Nin together with the E coast. Ko Po/Por is the bigger inland at key image. Old Lanta Town's pier extends from the far correct of ikon but correct of that modest headland - may best survive seen if you lot click-expand shot.
A longtail from Old Lanta Town's pier costs 300b per mortal (reductions for large groups). Total trip fourth dimension a niggling over twenty minutes. This stretch of H2O tends to survive sheltered inwards dry out season.
Approaching the forepart beach. The resort is nether the trees behind the beach.
Bu Bu Island Resort eating theater at left. half dozen bigger 600b bungalows nicely shaded past times trees outset at correct together with are spaced upwardly a depression loma behind key area. ix smaller 500b bungalows are out of frame to right, also nicely shaded. The ii most distant are nearly 10m behind the sand amongst vegetation-filtered body of body of water views.
Restaurant surface area lower left - role of the solid unit of measurement compound. Prices the most reasonable I produce got flora inwards the past times 2 years of budget isle resort stays. Bangkok regulars mightiness non survive impressed but 70baht for a large Chang (normal isle budget bungalow 100-120) together with 50/60 for chicken/squid/etc on rice (90-100 normal) is seriously cheap inwards the islands. I'm no gourmet but it tasted pretty skilful to me. Bungalow solid unit of measurement staff lovely but English linguistic communication skills real limited. Late diners should depository fiscal establishment annotation the 2000 closing time.
I was the alone invitee at the resort, but the isle together with eating theater were pop amongst day-trip groups
Day trip boats. Check the kayaks. An American NGO from People's Republic of Bangladesh told me the kayaking at the nearby mainland coast mangroves was real good.
Chez tezza at Bu Bu Island Resort (right). This 600b bungalow was much bigger together with ameliorate fitted out/finished than similarly priced places I stayed at dorsum on Lanta together with Phi Phi this trip. These are spacious concrete walled/tiled flooring bungalows which would easily solid a solid unit of measurement of four amongst extra beds. Mine was laid amongst twin beds - comfy. Good insect screens. Good lights but tree shade made daytime interior a fleck dim earlier generator cutting inwards at 1800. Quiet fan but shading from trees meant I hardly used it (note generator runs to mid-night). Big spacious mutual frigidity H2O bath amongst western wc. Broom. Clothes storage. Needless to say, the surface area was real tranquillity at night.
The 500b bungalows were of identical concrete/tile structure but considerably smaller - but large plenty for 2 people together with their gear. Cheapskate tezza considered the extra 100 for the large i was coin good spent - 20% to a greater extent than baht for 70% to a greater extent than space.
Front (western) beach depression tide. Sand tends towards white/yellow when it is dry. Note some exposed rocks depression tide leading to rocky bottom at nowadays inwards H2O but plenty of in-water sand undefoot when tide is up. Snorkeling off hither non smashing - H2O tends to survive the park Ko Lanta surface area non thence clear materials which doesn't back upwardly skilful living coral. In the far background the beach continues around the corner of the island.....
....to expire the southern beach. Once over again depression tide inwards shot - a fleck to a greater extent than sand into the H2O together with thence a similar rocky bottom. At highest tide mainly patches of sand betwixt shoreline trees were left. These sections are suitable for naturists - a yoke of whom had come upwardly over from Old Lanta Town. Resort staff together with daytrippers didn't appear to company around hither together with in that location was alone the necessitate to comprehend upwardly for the occasional passing line-fishing boat.
Bu Bu is compact - 400m east-west together with 460m north-south. It is possible to walk around the coast inwards nearly 45 minutes. Anticlockwise from the eastern halt of the southward beach is a tilted department of stone which ends nearly half-way upwardly the eastern coast where a serial of depression tide alone coarse sand beaches start. These halt at the north-west corner past times where it is to a greater extent than rock-hopping/ modest sandy patches dorsum to the northern halt of the forepart beach. This circumnavigation would survive hard inwards a higher house one-half tide. Flip-flops etc are non especially suited to the rocky areas at whatever time. It is also possible to circumnavigate the isle on a rainforest walking track. This takes nearly 25 minutes, has no challenging slopes together with is non real petroleum underfoot. At i phase it comes downwardly to the low-tide beach inwards the north-east of the island. There are some other few opportunities to access the coast past times side tracks.
Low tide alone beach - northward E of island
Rainforest track. Interestingly, the wood seemed to survive secondary growh - in that location were few large trees, suggesting most had at i phase been cleared. An expat dorsum on Lanta told me Bu Bu was i time a communist commune.
From the rails inwards the island's north-east I spotted these snorkelers (click-expand). They were later on taking luncheon inwards the resort clearing - they told me the fish inwards the inwards a higher house surface area were okay but otherwise in that location was nada of smashing interest.
Sunset behind Lanta from the forepart beach
CONTACT INFORMATION Bu Bu has a website but I flora no-one was answering the ii weep numbers listed there. Even if successful I uncertainty I could produce got communicated amongst the owners - their English linguistic communication is miserable together with I'm hopeless inwards such situations. Travel agents on the busy due west coast of Lanta similarly had no luck getting the numbers answered. One suggested I should expire over to Old Lanta Town where they produce got local knowledge. So I grabbed a moto together with shot across to the nearest move agent to the pier. This worked a charm:
Opal Travel on the large roundabout at the southern halt of Old Lanta Town's chief street (and nearly 70m northward from the street halt of the pier) - the guy in that location speaks first-class English linguistic communication together with has a wealth of information nearly all aspects of Lanta travel. He had no problem contacting Bu Bu Island Resort, booking me a 600 bungalow together with arranging a longtail for my transfer the next day. His committee comes from the resort's 600 - you pay no exta. On divergence he also phoned i of the hop-on hop-off part taxi trucks which took me across to Klong Dao inwards Lanta's north-west for 150b vs the 400+ for a normal taxi truck..
