About Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is Krabi's quieter alternative — a long, narrow island with a succession of beaches facing west into the Andaman sunset. Less crowded than Phuket or Koh Samui, it attracts families, couples and divers drawn to the excellent reefs of Koh Ha and Koh Rok. The Old Town's wooden Muslim fishing village on stilts over the water is a charming contrast to the beach resort strip.
Highlights
- Klong Dao and Long Beach sunset bars
- Mu Ko Lanta National Park snorkelling
- Kayaking mangroves and caves
- Old Town Lanta wooden stilt houses
- Rawi Warin rooftop bar views
- Day trip to Koh Rok crystal waters
