Koh Lanta offers plenty of interesting things to see and do during your summer vacation. Those who wish to make their holiday extraordinary can explore some of its scenic islands. Here are a few suggestions to make your itinerary a memorable one.
The Klong Nin Beach is one of the main beaches on the island, and spending time on this beach is one of the best things to do in Krabi. Fast, punch and often bigger waves of this beach attract tourists from all around the world to experience one-of-a-kind surf adventure. No wonder it's known as the 'paradise on earth' since whoever visits this beach falls in love with its turquoise waters and clean sand. The waves are ideal for surfing and even relaxing with your family. You will come across plenty of cosy accommodation options such as Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort which is located 27 minutes away from the beach. Klong Nin becomes picturesque when the small colourful restaurants and beach bars fill up. Its central location is an inviting call for visitors as it is an excellent starting point to explore attractions in the city.
Located in the northern section of the island, the small village of Ban Saladan is worth exploring especially if you wish to get up close to the local culture. This fishing village will help you find everything you need. There is a hospital, bakeries, some supermarkets, and ATMs. Head over to the covered market halls of Ban Saladan to grab a souvenir or two for your friends. Stroll along the waterfront with your special someone and have a romantic dinner at one of the best restaurants built on stilts out into the sea. If you are here during the high season, you can witness more happening evenings thanks to the "Koh Lanta Walking Street", Koh Lanta's small night market. Fill your bellies with goodies!
Also known as "The Beautiful Beach", this is a must-visit beach to experience a true dream beach when in Thailand. Probably one of the most beautiful attractions! Apart from being cosy and comfy, it's fantastic sea colours and huge palm trees will certainly amaze you. You will find a small bamboo hut selling small snacks and cool drinks.
In the southern part of the island is this beautiful jewel! The Kantiang Bay with its fine soft sand, tall palm trees, and incredibly beautiful sea colours is an absolute highlight. This place is a bit less touristy compared to other beaches in Thailand. However, its idyllic atmosphere will certainly take your breath away. If you are exploring this area on a scooter, do not miss spending some time at one of the panoramic restaurants on the road.
Wondering what is the real highlight of Koh Lanta? Undoubtedly, it's quaint beach bars. No matter which Thai island you are in, you will find a fantastic range of beach bars. You will find no substitutes for hippie bars, reggae bars, or Jamaica bars here. Also cool are the fire shows that many bars organize for their guests in the evening.
