Koh Lanta Yai is the main island in a group of 53 islands off the
coast of Krabi. What entices most to Lanta is the chance for peace
and solitude, as this island of golden sands is still nowhere near
as busy as Phi Phi or Phuket.
Yet there's still plenty to do here, with a lush interior easily
explored by motorbike, a charming fishing village and long stretches
of beach to walk along. Snorkelling and diving trips may also be
arranged. A number of restaurants and bars have popped up in recent
years to serve visitors seeking evening activities, but don't expect
to find a throbbing nightlife scene here. (read more about Koh

From north to south, Koh lanta's west coast offers beautiful and tranquil beaches. It gives Lanta Island a taste of Phuket something like 20 years ago. Restaurants and bars, made of wood and bamboo, gives a real tropical and local color while sipping a cocktail at sunset.
Koh Lanta offers a change of pace from the relentless touristic atmosphere of Phuket or Koh Samui. With barely enough local inhabitants to fill a medium-sized football stadium, the island features activities that tend to revolve around its unspoiled natural beauty and rustic village life.
As they say: one photo worth a thousand words... See for yourself: our photographer, William Thuan, explored Koh Lanta from north to south and from east to west, and brought us back these superb pictures to give you the taste for discovering this small paradise in the Andaman Sea.
