Top Things to do in Ko Lanta
Top 10 Free Things to do in Ko Lanta, Krabi Province
The dive sites surrounding Ko Lanta are considered to be some of Thailand’s finest. An intricate system of reefs, islets, and underwater caves are teeming with vibrant sea life. While you splash in the waves you may catch a glimpse of a Moken (sea gypsy) boat, gliding nomadically through the waters. Cap off your day with mouthwatering seafood, freshly caught and spicy enough to make your tongue tingle.

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.

Lively bar and grill with a friendly island atmosphere. Australian and Thai owners that endevour to provide patrons with a local home pub type feeling. Serving up talk of the town awesome value meals.

This is just about the only genuine bar in the locality, and we had a great time hanging around here. Always a cheery welcome from the staff, especially the bar manager. Good music playing (and Steve, the owner, does take requests) Live music on Fridays and the band are very enthusiastic and friendly guys. My holiday drink was a Margarita, and they were all very well made and the prices for drinks generally was on a par with everywhere else. Steve the owner is a friendly guy. We really enjoyed ourselves here!

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.

ASA stands for Asian Sustainability Academy and Lanta is the tropical island we are located. It's a big name that reflects our passion. In reality ASALANTA is a little earthen village in a bamboo forest, hidden away in the valley with a surrounding mountain stream. Yet here you can get inspired, enjoy nature, learn by living and see sustainability in practice. Our lodge offers a unique stay and experience, The Eco Life Adventure. Visitors have access to the village and can cool down with a fresh ice tea at The Organic Teahouse & Earth Shop. For workshops or renting our facilities to host your own adventure, check out our Education Park.

Myself and my boyfriend went to a macrame class at Asalanta and loved every minute! Anke and Aoi have built an incredible haven in the jungle which works as a home, a creative space, an organic tearoom, unique shop and an inspiring learning zone. From the moment we arrived, Anke, Aoi (and their beautiful daughter, Asa) were welcoming, passionate and knowledgable about everything from turning clay into bricks, a river into running water using solar powered energy and gravity, bamboo into a balcony and a waxy string into a perfectly knotted hammock for a hand picked stone/crystal. The food at Asalanta is fresh, local, organic and very tasty! The class was fun, informative and a great success, as we both left with beautiful pieces of jewellery and the knowledge on how to continue our new hobby at home. We would both highly recommend visiting Asalanta, whether it be for just a tea, snack or one of the many classes they put on. We had a fantastic day and will certainly be returning!
