About Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta offers a slower pace than Phuket or Samui, with long sandy beaches on the west coast and a predominantly Muslim fishing community in the old town. Snorkel the islands of Mu Koh Lanta National Park, explore the mangrove forests by kayak and watch sunsets from Long Beach. It pairs naturally with a Krabi trip, the ferry crossing takes about an hour.
