Kantiang’s First Fine Art Exhibition

phoebe — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:35:58 +0000

Kantiang bay is well known by many as the creative hub of Koh Lanta. Just take a stroll around the bay and you will easily find the locals displaying their talents.

Walking down the main street of Kantiang you will find little galleries tucked under mango trees, locals selling their handmade jewelry, clothes and accessories in or around the restaurants and bars. We have a number of talented tattoo artists who all have individual styles and can even create their own designs for you. Or have a wander around in the evening and you will often find musicians and bands playing in the bars, occasionally with a tourist or two contributing with their talents (for better or for worse!).

So considering all the creativity there is here, we are really excited to hear that one of the galleries, Nine Art Gallery, will be hosting the first ever fine art exhibition in Kantiang Bay.

The exhibition, ‘Virtue, Beauty & Truth’, by local artist Arthaniti Lapakorn, will open on 19th December and will run for ten days, finishing on 29th December at Nine Art Gallery which is opposite the 7-11 shop – look forward to seeing you there!

Both the food and the drinks menus make choosing exceedingly difficult!

If you’re looking for a quiet spot with a certain ‘undiscovered’, yet classy feel, Noon Bar might just be, exactly what you’re looking for.

As the sun gently sets on the horizon, the warmth of the chic bamboo interior starts to glow

Serving a great selection of wines, beers, fruit shakes, smoothies and delicious cocktails, Noon Bar is an ideal place to watch the sun go down. With small and intimate pagodas that face directly out over the ocean, the 180 degree panoramic views are simply the icing on the otherwise perfect cake.

Great start to the season 2011-2012 - Ja Ru Pat's first trip

The new 2011-2012 dive season in Kantiang Bay got off to a great start with Scubafish‘s first trip of the season to Ko Haa going out on their newly painted and updated boat ‘Ja Ru Pat‘.

Cruising out to dive site Ko Haa

The marine-life at Ko Haa put on a fantastic show, with even the snorkelers managing to catch a glimpse of the notoriously shy Black-Tipped Reef Sharks and pretty much everyone onboard was able to make their acquaintance with the resident Hawksbill Turtles and the infamous ‘Porkie‘ – the ‘not-so-shy’ Porcupine Pufferfish who lives in Ko Haa Lagoon!

Porkie - the world-famous Porcupine Pufferfish from Ko Haa Lagoon

All in all, a fantastic day was had by all, and the divers at Scubafish are looking forward to plenty more great days out over the coming season.

Drunken Sailors Cafe in Kantiang Bay has an exciting change to the already wonderful menu – the addition of a yummy daily bake.

The guys at Drunken Sailor recently purchased a new oven which enables them to produce lots of delicious freshly baked goodies, like Tad’s Chocolate Brownies, Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing, White Mocha Muffins, Banana Bread, Apple Tarts, and Mango Muffins with Lime Glaze to name but a few.

They have become part of daily life this low season and go fantastically well with one of their range of great tasting proper coffees and teas.

A little indulgence is good for the soul, and that’s what holiday’s are for, right? So I don’t know about you, but I’m off to find out what today’s daily treat is. Hopefully see you there…………..
