Koh Lanta Guide

This laid-back island is the perfect destination for those wishing to escape the masses yet have access to popular scenic attractions. This island is highly recommended by experienced backpackers for its good balance of activity and tranquillity.

Koh Lanta is now hailed by many as how Thailand was 30 years ago with driftwood beach bars and a noticeable lack of multi-storey hotel blocks that scatter the shoreline of other islands. Koh Lanta offers a break from the speed and chaos of the neighbours of Koh Phi Phi, Ao Nang and Phuket. As such, it deserves a spot on your itinerary as a place to either avoid the noise – or at least recover from it.
