Lanta at Home

The room amazed me the second the manager, Wind, who is the younger brother of the proprietor, Mr. Sunny, opened its door to me. With a refreshing Thai scent spreading from within, the room whose original two single beds had been combined into a big one for a solo traveler under my presumptuous request totally captivated me. It had a nice patio where I could put my feet up after a hot day out to the beach in the broiling sun. Wind also recommended me to go to what he considered as a must try restaurant and bar. He got me a scooter to which I only had to pay half overdue price on the last day because I forgot the time and couldn’t make it from the farthest beach, Bamboo Beach, on the island. His assistant, Shu, was shy and nice. One day I mistakenly bought two eggs that were light boiled, if not raw. She, without a second thought, helped me save my breakfast protein source. The proprietress, Ms. Ning, got me some pizza and bread she and her husband seemingly practiced making in the bistro kitchen next door. I would definitely book a room with breakfast next time if they planned to reopen after the Covid outbreak. In short, the hotel, just like its name, truly made feel at home; the owner and the staff, including the cat, Member, were terribly good and generous people. I will be terribly missing them. Of course I will go back to Koh Lanta in the future, and of course,Lanta at Home will be my one and only choice. PS. See you soon, Wind. Nice talking to you. You are a fun soul. Say hi to Shu and Mr. Sunny and Ms. Ning and the children. Alex

Nice and helpfully stuff

One of the best stays I've had the pleasure of experiencing! The rooms were tidy, spacious and very nice, with water bottles being brought to you every morning. I loved how comfortable the bed was, and I can't think of anyway how the room could have been better. Additionally the people running the place are some of the loveliest people I've ever met, particularly the owner/person at the front desk, Win. I really enjoyed chatting with Win, and he was one of the most attentive and helpful people I have ever met. He also helped me out with renting a scooter, which made my stay in Koh Lanta even more enjoyable. It was always nice to walk in or out of the hotel, as there was always a group of kids watching tv on the couch, who really created a cozy atmosphere, or the owner was there smiling and asking how your day has been so far. I was there for only 4 nights, but could have easily stayed for many more, and I was sad to leave the place. I really really could not recommend this place enough, and will try to visit it again someday, even to just greet Win.
