As i have written on several other incomplete pages, i am sorry for the delay in the development of this website and the stories i have promised to tell. In the moment i am stuck in Bangkok and have no time to stay on Lanta and fotograph things to help my recounting of tales, customs and events. I Promise to return to Lanta within the next few months (before december 2008), and begin the next phase of the growth of this website. I have a big dream for what i wish this site to become and i promise i won't let you down in the end there will be a treasure trove of info that you wont find in English anywhere else on the web.The Sea Gypsies' and their part in Koh Lanta's story is coming in the next week or so. So come back to see the pics and read the story. Boat Baptism is going to be the first sea gypsy ceremony covered.
Sea GypsyThis page will become a story before the end of july 2008. come back within 2 weeks and you will find a sea gypsy story from Koh Lanta. In the coming months/years, each section will become multi paged, containing a multitude of stories and facts for us to browse and enjoy.
It is hard for me to write on the 20 or so websites i work on, there is so little time, so please bear with me and return to re-check for updates. Soon i shall add a blog and forum to the site, so be on the watch for new links on the navbar soon.Don't forget to come back here to read again as pretty soon thios p[age is going to be sea gypsies, sea gypsies, sea gypsies.
