2025 Koh Lanta Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

I ended up spending almost a month on Koh Lanta in Thailand, I fell in love! It is less touristy than other Islands and I appreciated this. There is so much beautiful beach with no one to be seen, so calm and peaceful. I loved watching the sunsets from here every day. 🏍️ You would be best to get around the island on a bike, but taxis are available 🥥 So many fresh coconuts here 🥗 Visit Lanta Old Town for restaurants, bars and shops 🚤 Get a speedboat to visit Koh PhiPhi 🤿 If you can only do one. I suggest snorkelling on Koh (Ko) Rok 🐘 Visit ‘Following Giants’ no touch Elephant sanctuary - you get to walk with these gentle beasts and learn about how they have been harmed through tourism! Enjoy the more relaxed and local vibe of this Island and feel like a local. Ask any questions you have about Koh Lanta a below and will happy to answer for you ❓ #thailand #beachlife #thingstodo #naturalwonders #seascapes #myitinerary

Another coffee shop by the beach with a great atmosphere. You can sit and listen to the sound of the waves, sip coffee, and work comfortably. There are both outside and inside seating options. If you prefer air conditioning, sit inside. If you like the breeze and a bit of sea spray, there are many spots to choose from. The cafe can accommodate a large number of customers. On the way to the cafe, there are stylish and beautiful corners where you can take cool photos, perfect for cafe lovers.

Lanta Pura Beach Resort - Accommodation on Koh Lanta Continuing with the famous accommodation on Koh Lanta, Lanta Pura Beach Resort is another luxurious hotel located by the sea on Koh Lanta. The highlight of this accommodation is its emphasis on tranquility, serenity, and surrounding nature, which both Thai and foreign guests adore. Additionally, the special highlight here is the beautiful sunset view, whether you watch it up close from the beachside pool while enjoying dinner or from the balcony of your room. This Koh Lanta accommodation offers both sea view rooms and pool villas. They confirm that you can visit repeatedly without getting bored, as each room offers a different sea view with a balcony in every room. There is also a large swimming pool available, making it suitable for everyone, every day, and every group.

During my recent visit to Koh Lanta during low season, I stumbled upon an extraordinary beach experience that left me mesmerized. The mighty waves, untouched wilderness, and minimal tourist presence created an ambiance that combined the thrill of surfing with the tranquility of a deserted paradise. However, it is crucial to note that the coastline suffered from an unfortunate issue of plastic pollution. Exploring the secluded beaches of Koh Lanta during low season felt like embarking on an adventure into nature's untamed realm. The lack of crowds, almost no tourists in sight, bestowed a sense of exclusivity and tranquility upon these shores. It felt as if these beaches were personally curated for individuals seeking an unspoiled escape from the chaos of everyday life. One of the most captivating aspects was the spellbinding display of the big waves crashing onto the golden sand. While swimming may not always be ideal due to the intense wave conditions, these waves created a spectacle that was simply awe-inspiring. For thrill-seekers and experienced surfers, tackling these remarkable swells provided an exhilarating experience unlike any other. However, it is disheartening to mention that the low season also revealed a darker side to the beaches of Koh Lanta. As the sea churned with immense power, it regrettably brought along a considerable amount of plastic waste. It was saddening to witness the contrast between the pristine sands and the influx of plastic debris. Although efforts were made by the locals to combat this issue, it serves as a reminder for everyone to actively contribute towards preserving the beauty of our oceans. Despite this downside, the beaches on Koh Lanta during low season remain a hidden gem worth exploring. Nevertheless, I urge visitors to remain responsible and mindful of their impact on the environment. Together, we can safeguard these mesmerizing beaches, not just for ourselves, but for future generations to come.#lanta #beachlife

One day is fine, but it's not enough to explore secret beaches here in Koh Jum. A day I decided to be there was the day before without any plans. I borrow a friend motorbike and rode to Laem Kruad Pier. We chose to take a ferry boat to Koh Pu first then rode around the island and finish at Mutu Pier, and came back to the main land. It seems like there nothing to do there. However this place is great to relax and chill. Especially when you need your private time and space to be. Highly recommend to those loving nature and peace!#kohjum #krabi #relaxtime

#ThailandAttractions Koh Lanta, Thailand is located in the southern part of the main attractions Krabi, Phi Phi Island and Phuket on the Andaman Coast. The island is 6 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers long. It has nine golden sandy beaches and diverse terrain, including mangroves, waterfalls and forest cover. of hills. Koh Lanta is far less developed and commercialized than the other major southern islands, so it has always maintained a laid-back atmosphere, although it has slowly developed into one of the best beach resorts in Thailand. Nonetheless, Koh Lanta remains a great beach destination for families, couples, backpackers and scuba divers, as well as those who don’t like an island that is too commercial. There is an asphalt road extending southward from the north of the island, leading along the west coast to the core area of ​​Lanta National Park and the lighthouse at the southern end. Due to its remoteness from the mainland, Koh Lanta still retains its beauty and abundance of beaches, crystal clear waters and stunning underwater world. But weather is always the master of natural scenery. On cloudy days, it cannot show its most beautiful appearance. We look forward to more sunshine. #Overseas Travel #Thailand #Thailand Travel 2022 #Thailand Travel Guide #Thailand Good Places #Thailand Photography #Thailand Travel #Island Vacation #Island Travel #Island Style

Most people thinks about vacation in Thailand with the beautiful beaches imagine, but not many people know that ecotourism is more popular travel trending in Thailand and also adventure in the same time. Khlong Khon is a place that affects by global warming, the shore is erosion. To prevent from erosion, mangrove trees can help by growing to decrease erosion power from the waves, unfortunately the mangrove trees can’t grow as fast as possible therefore local organizations co-op with local citizens offering ecotourism by building home stays with water park and adventure activities, sightseeing, feed monkeys, growing mangrove trees, visit oysters farm. Getting to Khlong Khon. From bangkok by the train and personal car to home stays or resorts, you can ask for buying ecotourism package from the resorts it’s about 1,500 - 2,000 baht (50 - 60$). #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #celebratewithtrip #amazingthailand #ecotourism

Breathtaking spot. Gotta climb 1300 steep stairs but it's worth it for the phenomenal views. The huge golden Buddha is a 'wow' moment too. Watch out for the monkey's, they steal your stuff. This was truly a wonderful afternoon #thailand #thai #bkk #bangkok #krabi

Want to go on a trip to a peaceful place, not crowded, meet the needs of both the beautiful clear sea and raw nature that doesn't need to be decorated. Then buying things from the islands that I have kept on my travel list for a long time appeared in my mind. How about Koh Jum? Koh Jum #Krabi #Koh Jum

It is another island that you can't miss. Everything is still natural. It is a tourist attraction that is not widely talked about yet. But believe me, if you go there, you will love Krabi 300% more. ⛵️🏊🏻‍♂️🚣‍♂️🌴 #Krabi is worth visiting #Krabi has more than you think #Island paradise

The atmosphere is very inviting. It looks peaceful, with a beautiful view, clear sea water, and lush nature. The journey by plane from Bangkok to Krabi takes about 1 hour and then takes a shuttle bus from the airport to the resort for no more than 2 hours. The resort is on Koh Lanta Yai, so you have to take a car and cross over on a raft, but it doesn't take long, about 15 minutes. (The driver said that during the busy tourist season, you'll have to wait a little while for the raft to cross.) You see, traveling during this time is a great thing. In addition to enjoying the view to the fullest, you'll also be helping the local community and stimulating their own economy.

Koh Lanta, Andaman Sea, located in Krabi Province There are not many people here. For those who want peace Want to relax with nature Don't miss going to Koh Lanta at least once in your life. There is a point to watch the sunset. I can tell you that it is very romantic. And most importantly, you can dive and see coral here. For those who like diving, Koh Lanta is another option. Let's try to see underwater. #WinterSeasideTravel #SeasideTravel
