Away from the rush
Koh Lanta consists of several islands. Koh Lanta Noi and Koh Lanta Yai are the largest and most important. Koh Lanta is not so touristic as the proximate destinations Phuket and Ko Phi Phi. Of course here too are many bars and restaurants, but tourism here has not been developed that far. Also, the party atmosphere is much less excessive. For this and other reasons, Koh Lanta is a good family destination. At the beaches of the westcoast you can find resorts and bungalows. Koh Lanta is accessible by boat from Krabi, Ao Nang and Phuket.

Starting point for boatdiving
Around the island you won’t find dive spots. Koh Lanta is however a good starting point for boatdives. The island is relatively close to the popular dive spots Hin Mouang and Hin Dueng. By speedboot from Koh Lanta you can arrive there in an hour. You can also book a daytrip on a more comfortable boat. These two popular dive spots from other origins are only reachable by live-aboard. Furthermore you can dive from Koh Lanta at the same spots as from Phuket and Koh Phi Phi.
