Top 10 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.

Nice beach located in the middle of the island ( west side ). We enjoyed sunset here many times. Here is a lot of bars and restaurants but at the same time very quiet place. Best for travel with family.

Very quiet and nice. No vendors. Super wide and flat. Really soft sand on upper half and packed sand on lower half. Lots of moms with prams. Lots of joggers. And both actually work well here. Lots of families. Restaurants along beach are all quite nice. A few little markets. Sea entry is clean and soft and really shallow for a long ways out. A pretty perfect beach for young families. It feels really calm and quiet and upscale compared to other beaches we've visited in Thailand.

Hard to find — you climb a steep hill on the scooter and almost at the top you’ll see a wooden shack with a few bikes parked on both sides of the road — slither down the rough path/ steps and notice the pile of discarded flip flops on your left and another 20 yards and you’re there — a golden secluded beach —- crystal clear water - a bar made from driftwood decorated with flotsam and jetsam — a few hammocks under the shade Buy a fruit shake and wonder why you didn’t make the effort to come before - unlikely you’ll be on your own but there will only be a handful of people to share this special place Enjoy !

We took a speedboat from Koh Lanta and visited Koh Rok (and Koh Ha) with two kids, ages 5 and 9. We got to snorkel on two different sites around Koh Rok from the boat, both were quite good. Ate lunch at the beach and saw a couple of big monitor lizards and got to Bath and snorkel from the beach. The place is beautiful even when packed with tourists.
9. Lanta Old Town
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2,827 reviews
Lanta Old Town is a small village on Ko Lanta's East Coast in Krabi Province. Many years ago, Ko Lanta's Old Town acted as the port and commercial center for the island and provided safe harbor for Arabic and Chinese trading vessels sailing between the larger ports of Phuket, Penang and Singapore. Today, Old Town is the district capital; it has a post office, police station, Buddhist temple, Chinese temple and the island's hospital as well as a long pier.

Koh Lanta town has exceeded our expectations: We are staying at Mango house (traditional teak building over the sea and on stilts). We are now staying for three nights. Motorbike hire is easy and the local boat pier is delightful. Quiet and good quality restaurants in the evening. Not a beach place, but handy for everything including snorkelling trips.

Well worth a visit - beautiful nature with a lighthouse, two beaches (one sandy paradise beach and one rocky beach) and a nature trail. It was very windy when we visited so we didn't spend any time on the beach, but walked the forest trail. It took just over an hour, int the company of 2 children aged 7 & 9 and a grandmother aged 74. The trail is actually quite steep with a lot of steps, so bring plenty of water as it'll be a sweaty hike. There are some information posts along the trail about some of the trees and plants you pass.
