Koh Lanta is a scenic tropical island that offers a perfect balance of a laid-back atmosphere and delightful experiences. It is far away from the touristy and often crowded Thai islands. Explore the island to discover its charming ambience and the abundance of experiences that it has to offer.
The string of coral-fringed beaches that ring the island is undoubtedly some of the best things about Koh Lanta that every traveller to the island has got to experience. Taking a pick from the whole host of picture-postcard beaches, one no less beautiful than the other, might be more of a challenging task than it may appear to be. So, why not treat yourself to a day of delightful beach hopping? Hop on a motorbike and set out to embark on a fun-filled beach-hopping adventure, exploring the breathtakingly gorgeous sands Koh Lanta has to offer.
The scenic west coast, with its world-class beaches, is often the centre of attention, but on the lush green mountains of the east coast, you'll find the charming Koh Lanta Old Town. This quarter has a laid-back and peaceful atmosphere that sets it apart from the rest of the island. The colourful teak-stilted houses overlooking the sea add to the unique charm of this historic area, which feels like a window into the past. Take a stroll through the atmospheric streets and soak up the ambience of this wonderful island getaway.
Fun and exciting things to do in Krabi and the vicinity may be plenty, but the island’s chic hotels and resorts such as the Avani+ Koh Lanta with world-class spas and wellness centres, make it a pity not to indulge yourself in a relaxing massage. Pamper yourself like never before and let your body, mind and soul wallow in rejuvenation on the tropical island.
Year-round sunshine, crystal clear waters, striking coral reefs and schools of tropical fishes — all join forces to make Koh Lanta an excellent snorkelling and scuba diving destination. Mask up and head into the alluring waters of the wide-open Andaman to peek into the world beneath the tropical blue, where a host of breathtaking oceanic wonders await your discovery. No matter if you choose to snorkel or go pro scuba diving, these waters never disappoint.
Among all things fascinating about Thailand, the Southeast Asian nation is also home to a mouth-watering authentic local cuisine as fantastic as its fabled southern beaches. Why only savour the delectable traditional dishes when you could put your culinary skills to the test and whip up a scrumptious dish of authentic Thai cuisine? Take a Thai cooking class and prepare all the delicious Thai dishes that your taste buds crave.
