Sitting just off the coast of Krabi, Ko Lanta is one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand that draws the attention of tourists with its unspoiled beaches and verdant forests for a rejuvenating holiday. A true paradise on earth hidden in the heart of Thailand, this island is basically an archipelago comprising over fifty islands. It is approximately 30 km long with nine beaches lying from north to south along the sunset coast.
Among all its pristine islands, Ko Lanta Noi and Ko Lanta Yai are the two largest and among the most beautiful islands that are strung with a line of several luxurious resorts and bungalows and are popular for their plenty of adventure opportunities, prominently scuba diving and snorkelling. While an exceptional blend of picturesque forests, coral reefs and under water life is enough to thrill the senses, a colourful combination of cultures presents another fabulous tale to the travellers. Besides adventure activities, the town surprises visitors with exclusive beachside Thai massages, stilted villages of sea gypsies, a small Buddhist monastery within tangles of curling mangroves and a number of fried-chicken stalls below slender minarets. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, Thung Yee Pheng Mangrove Forest, Khlong Jak Waterfall and Caves on Ko Lanta are some of the must-visits on the island to revel in world-class beauty and adventure whereas Rak Talae Beach Bar and Reggae Bar are the most famous places to enjoy happy hour sunset cocktails.
