Koh Lanta is one of Thailand’s destination gems: located off the country’s western coast in the Andaman Ocean, it has gained a reputation amongst travellers for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and superb sunsets. Plus it’s less developed than many of the country’s islands, but still relatively easily to reach. The quietest beaches are located in the island’s far south – so if it’s seclusion you’re looking for, heading in this direction will get you closest to your goal. Alternatively, the northern shores offer a busier, but fun and social experience, with restaurants and bars lining the beachfront. Wandering through the streets of Koh Lanta’s old town will take you past many traditional teak wood houses and give you a sense of Thailand’s days of old, while the food market offers a colourful glimpse into local life.
