Guide to Ko Lanta

Lanta Virtual Tour

Lanta is the name that brings together two beautiful islands: Lantu Noi and Lantu Yai. While the former lacks the comforts of civilization, the latter is designed for an excellent vacation. The pristine beaches of the Lanta archipelago in the Krabi province are sure to captivate anyone. You can choose to spend your time on the shore, either passively, gazing at the tranquil azure waves, or actively, engrossed in diving or snorkeling. Beyond the classic seaside relaxation, there's plenty more to explore and experience.

One of the key attractions on Lanta Yai is its natural beauty. At the top of the list is Moo Ko Lanta National Park, an absolute must-visit on the island. Besides that, exploring the local waterfalls and lakes is a worthwhile experience, and you can even take an elephant ride.

For architecture enthusiasts, the Old Town in the eastern part of the resort is a treasure. This area is inhabited exclusively by the local population. Amidst the cozy Thai streets, it has managed to preserve the serene and tranquil spirit of the Kingdom of Thailand. Additionally, on Ko Lanta, you can enjoy evening performances, animal shows (including adorable little monkeys), and even witness Thai boxing bouts, ensuring that boredom is not an option!
