Livin in a serviced studio apartment in Boat Lagoon is all good. My balcony overlooks the meandering mangrove river leading here. The air is fragrant with tropical blossoms. And in the mornings and especially the afternoons we have regular Minibus Mayhem when the minivans descend to deliver and collect the tourists who are heading for or have spent the day on Phi Phi Island or wherever.
Sometimes there’s water in the lagoon but during the low spring tides it’s like someone let the plug out…
This week Minibus Mayhem reached giddy heights with minibuses double parked around the circle (roundabout to Australians) just before my apartment and a double decker coach joined the fray. The coach had to back up at least 500 metres because it simply couldn’t manoeuvre . What’s it going to look like in high season?
