I can’t recommend visiting Lanta Animal Welfare enough! We weren’t sure what the center would be like in the low season (most of the rest of the island is a ghost town) but the second we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a volunteer named Kelly who got us signed up to take some puppies on a walk and take a tour of the facilities. While we waited, we got to cuddle with all the friendly cats in their “cat city” and chat with Kelly about they work they do there. Dog walking was really fun — we got to walk two super energetic pups and the volunteers that walked with us were friendly and eager to chat with us. They also had mosquito repellant that they offered us as we walked through part of the woods. After dog walking, Kelly gave us a full tour of the facilities and talked in great detail about every space, dog, and activity that went on at the center. She was super knowledgeable and communicated an incredible amount of info while keeping it engaging and interesting — not an easy feat, as it was POURING rain for most of the tour. After the tour, she let everyone know what they could do to support the center’s efforts, both monetarily and not. I can’t stress enough what a great time we had at the center and how much anyone coming to Thailand should come visit! Learning about their mission and cuddling kittens were both highlights of our entire Thailand trip.

As you can see by the many other 5/5 reviews this is an excellent tailor and I was very pleased with the results and the process. Just a few tips if you've never worked with a custom tailor before: Don't go on the last days of your stay on Ko Lanta. First I decided on a fabric and got measured. Next time I tried on the first shirt and we made a few tweaks. So third time the shirt was ready and perfect. If you're lucky it might fit perfectly the first time you try it on. The other thing is that some fabrics they readily in the store while others they have small samples and then they order it for you. I personally find it difficult to tell from the small fabric samples how it will look once it's an actual shirt. I was happy with all of them and they looked much better in big than on the small patch. So go there early during your stay. I first had only one shirt done but since it came out really nice I got three more made.
