Travel Blogs from Koh Lanta, Thailand
Lanta is chill and relaxed.
I had heard from a few poeple that Lanta was a very chill, relaxed place, and it being low season it was a buyers market on rooms. Apon arriving I am able to bargain myself a room at a resort on the ocean with a pool (the monsoons make the rocky ocean a ...
Beach and Massage
First full day on the island. Spent the morning on the beach and we have both just had a Thai massage - very relaxing. Might pop into the town now. I think it might have rained again when we were in the spa, no problem. I think ...
Storm Watching on Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta (Lanta Island) was reputed to be laid back and quiet in the off-season, and this was no lie. Most businesses along the road leading to our "resort" hotel were shuttered. On the beach, the smaller guesthouses and bungalows seemed to be falling ...
Koh Lanta
... to beach, fan, toilet paper, no soap, no towels, no top sheets). It's also family run, with (unsuprisingly) really friendly staff. Koh Lanta is a bit of a mixture - near town it's like Koh Tao is now, plenty of life, activity, little over developed; ...
Koh Lanta
Hey Guys Well Made it off of Koh Phi Phi and now at Koh Lanta. Koh Lanta is a much bigger island, about 20 km southeast of phi phi. Definitely different crowd here, less of party crowd, more of laid back, chill crowd. This place is very quiet, more ...

Koh Lanta
Après notre brève escapade dans la ville de Krabi nous nous sommes dirigé vers Koh Lanta, une ile très proche de la côte (le moyen le plus rapide de s'y rendre c'est de prendre le minibus qui lui embarque sur un traversier). Comme à notre habitude ...

... . but it was good to fill up my hungry belly. Once we arrived to Krabi in the morning we bought the transfer to the island called Koh Lanta, I had been here 4 years ago, but I really liked it, so it was a good last minute decision. We found a place to ...
Swimming in Dark Emerald Caves in Koh Mook
I moved in the giant hay bungalows with my new friend Marita in Koh Lanta, this place has a very cool vibe, and its run by a very sweet lady boy, and I'm pretty sure they do not have a first aid kit here , so its a good thing my small tragedy happened at ...
One van two boats and a beach destination
... I have decided to leave this 5* resort (I can't believe it either) and head to the sandy white beaches and turquoise waters that Thailand has to offer.... the only thing is Shelley is still a sleep and we have yet to book anything... I find my favourite ...
Underwater life...
If the diving on Koh Tao was great then here it's fantastic :) We did a day trip (2 dives) with Lanta Diver down to Koh Haa (which literally means 5 Islands, although there are 6 there for some reason). The visibility was incredible, with it feeling ...

Muslim Assault
... Phi, but it was jam-packed with tourists. A nice Engkish girl at Visa Diving suggested I have lunch then take a boat to Lanta, where it was quieter. This proved to be near fatal advice... I was booked into the Blue Andaman resort and was ...
Sunsets and Festivals
... a facial and we spent the rest of the day by the pool. Then, at 6;00 the hotel mini-bus took us to the Lanta Festival in Lanta Old Town, about a half hour drive. This is the island's festival and is very much an event for locals rather than ...
Paradise continues
... it into words have decided it is actually quite minging. All in all though, have fallen in love with Phi Phi - if you ever come to Thailand (which you really really should) Phi Phi should be high on your "I must go there" list. That's all I have to say ...
Dive, dive
... we met our instructor - F (short for Frans), a friendly, energetic Swede who had an intense dislike for other Swedes (so Koh Lanta was a pretty bad choice of place to live given the three Swedish schools on the island and the high number of Scandinavian ...

So after 6 weeks of busy bus rides and lots of sightseeing we finally arrived in Southern Thailand, Koh Lanta to be specific after another long bus journey which included a change of bus that we were promised wouldn't happen and even paid more to avoid ...
Wow - Koh Lanta
We didn't realise that the coach journey down was only to Krabi and then we had to make our own way to Koh Lanta. We also didn't realise that Koh Lanta was an island! So after 12 hours on a bus down to Krabi we were then told that we'd have to get another ...
