About Koh Lanta

Long, quiet west-coast beaches, an old town on the east coast and a marine national park.

The back story

Ko Lanta is divided into Ko Lanta Noi and Ko Lanta Yai; Saladan pier is the business centre, the old Sriraya community lies on the east side, and the west coast is lined with beaches (TAT).

Our advice: come for the quiet, and take a boat to the Ko Ha and Ko Rok islands.
