Lanta Festival, Hotels, Tour and Travel
Koh
Lanta Krabi Thailand
Covers 152 square Kilometers of Lanta Islands.
This island forms the most southern district of Krabi
province. It
was known long ago by its name in the Malay language, Pulao
Satak, which means Long Beach Island. Later, so many
Thais, both Buddhist and Muslim, came to live on the island
that there seemed to be a million eyes, which is what some
people think Lanta means in Thai.
Only in the resent years tourism has taken
off and the steady flow of tourists has seen Lanta
become the next “hot spot” in Thailand

Klong
Dao Beach
This beach is the most populous of those offered on Lanta,
with several bungalows at very reasonable prices.
Located 2 km from the Saladan pier, this beach offers
visitors clean, sparkling sand, tepid, translucent waters,
and excellent views of the surrounding areas. |
 |
Pha-Ae
Beach ( Long Beach)
At the northern end of Lanta, this beach is known for
its fine sand and quickly shelving coastline.
Where to stay: Accommodation at Phra Ae are extremely
affordable, and the food is sumptious. Like most of the
beaches on Lanta Island, recreational activities are few
and far between. |
 |
Klong
Kong Beach
This beach, 2 km south of Phra Ae, is extremely peaceful,
and has excellent accommodation at bargain prices.
Although the food is not quite as good as at Phra Ae,
the beaches are isolated, tranquil and serene. |
 |
Klong
Nin Beach
Like nearly all the beaches on Lanta,
Klong Nin is isolated and quiet. Fine, sandy beaches are
essentially all one will encounter here, and the accommodations
are adequate.
Again, this is not the place to go if you want to go jet-skiing
or para-sailing, but perfect if you want to read a book
on a beautiful beach. |
 |
Ba
Kantiang Beach
Towards the southern tip of the island, Kantiang beach
is one of the most beautiful on Koh Lanta.
Although accommodations are only average, the sparkling
sands and iridescent aquamarine waters more than compensate.
There is also excellent snorkeling available in the surrounding
area. |
