Koh Lanta


Destination: KohLanta

Discover a diversity of beaches on one island

Total Page Views for KohLanta: 481,188 - Views this week: 481,188
The large and hilly island of Koh Lanta Yai is mostly referred to as Koh Lanta. Koh Lanta is 27 kms long and 15 kms wide.  60% of the island is  still overgrown with forest and at the Southern tip a National Park including 15 surrounding islands was established in 1990.
The name Koh Lanta derives from the ancient sea gypsies of whom some tribes still live on the island. Many Muslim fishermen inhabit the island and about 5% Thai Chinese ethnics. Altogether about 20.000 inhabitants. Tourism is the main source of income on the island.

A road leads from Ban Saladan in the North along the East coast of the island to the village Lanta Old Town, also called Lanta Pier. The East Coast is shallow and not suitable for swimming in the ocean, but worth to drive along.

Another road leads along the West Coast of Koh Lanta down to the National Park at the southernmost tip of the island.
The hills in the center of the island rise to a height of 488 meters. Two roads cross through the mountains so it is possible to take a round trip from the East to the West coast of Koh Lanta. From a view point at the top of the hill you can see the East coast and its islands.
Koh Lanta's West Coast has many bays and beaches, each very different from one another. Some with white sand, others rocky; some steep, some shallow.

Koh Lanta was discovered by travellers in the 1980s. During the last couple of years the island has been developed from North to South. More and more resorts with swimming pools have been built and  basic bungalows can only be found at Klong Khong Beach and further down at the Southern beaches.
So if you want the more backpacky atmosphere, make sure you stay on one of the Southern beaches.

During High Season from December to February the prices double and it is advisable to book in advance. November, March and April are the best times to travel to Koh Lanta.
A lot of places are closed during the monsoon season from May to October. The dive schools are closed and swimming in the sea is dangerous due to strong winds and high tides. Klong Dao Beach and Kantiang Bay usually offer good swimming conditions year round.
