Petrol and Coal

In Ko Lanta, you have the choice of petrol from your general gas station (as above), or…

By the bottle is slightly cheaper! (and you get a bottle!!!)

There is also a local movement to stop the development of a coal power plant back in Krabi – places like Koh Lanta and their marine reserves in the transporting way. Its a tough one for a country both so dependent on tourism, but equally, with massive power demands (and outages). Unfortunately, we all say ‘not in my backyard’…but who’s, or what alternatives?
