The central highway on Koh Lanta is laid close to the coast, at a distance of 50-500 meters in different sections. It is about 50 kilometers long. The road cuts off in the south, so you can't get from the National Park in the east of Lanta directly. You'll need to drive to Klong Ning Beach and then follow the road to the opposite side of the island.
There's another highway that connects the west and east of Ko Lanta. It runs between Klong Khong and Long Beach.
