Koh Lanta Islands

Koh Lanta

Koh Lanta Yai is the main island in a group of 53 islands off the coast of Krabi. What entices most to Lanta is the chance for peace and solitude, as this island of golden sands is still nowhere near as busy as Phi Phi or Phuket.

Yet there's still plenty to do here, with a lush interior easily explored by motorbike, a charming fishing village and long stretches of beach to walk along. Snorkelling and diving trips may also be arranged. A number of restaurants and bars have popped up in recent years to serve visitors seeking evening activities, but don't expect to find a throbbing nightlife scene here. (read more about Koh Lanta)

Getting to Lanta Island

Reached by regular car ferry service from the Krabi mainland and by passenger ferry from Phi Phi. Trips run year round but service may occasionally be interrupted due to bad weather conditions during the May-October low season. (read more about Koh Lanta)
