Placed on the west coast of the Andaman Sea, in the south of Thailand, this little island remains pristine and untouched by throngs of tourists and developments. With exquisite beaches, and thick jungles, life is idyllic here. It is the perfect location to relax with your loved one.
This beach is a highlight in Koh Lanta and among the prominent beaches on the island. Along this stretch of coastline, there are lots of comfortable and affordable accommodations and beautiful locations to unwind. Many resorts in Krabi are pleasant and have a palpable relaxed atmosphere. Towards the sunset, little colourful beachfront restaurants sprung into life. Klong Nin has a panoramic setting due to its location on the island. This beach is a good place to base your stay and start exploring the other attractions on the island.
Pay a visit to the little village of Ban Saladan, north of Koh Lanta. You will have to arrive via ferry, which has direct stops to the village. It is primarily a fishing town, with all the basic amenities for a comfortable visit. You can locate some ATMs, a few supermarkets, a hospital, and a few bakeries. It is an ideal place for long unguided walks and souvenir shopping. The enclosed markets in Ban Saladan will be an interesting place to explore the local fare. Near the waterfront, find several restaurants constructed on stilts on the ocean. A romantic dinner overlooking the sunset is a great way to relish the beauty of this place! The Koh Lanta Walking Street takes place during the high season and is a splendid way to enjoy all the delicious food on the island. The likes of Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort are some of the accommodation options nearby if you intend to stay overnight.
Presumably among the most attractive places on the island, so much so that it is frequently referred to as "The Beautiful Beach". What makes this beach so special is that very few people visit it, which means you will probably get a palm-tree fringed, turquoise beach pretty much to yourselves. If seclusion is what you crave, this is the spot to visit! There is an idyllic green alpine-like field behind a bamboo beach with grazing cows that adds to the charm of its peaceful surroundings. You won't find busy restaurants here either; instead, there is a small bamboo cabin selling soft drinks and snacks.
Beautiful Kantiang Bay is on the southern coast of Koh Lanta. This beach has it all – Beautiful oceanic colours, towering palm trees, soft white sand, plus amazing viewpoints. However, Kantiang Bay can get somewhat touristy. You can also find little resorts and cottages directly near the sea with a seafront view.
Mu Ko Lanta National Park is located in the south of the island. The excursion to the National Park is quite scenic as well, and you may be able to spot some monkeys along the route. The foremost attraction here has become the Koh Lanta Lighthouse. It has become a landmark of sorts for the island.
