Lanta Island

Lanta Island (Ko Lanta)  is 6 km wide and more than 30 km long, located about 70 km from Krabi City. The island has many beautiful white sandy beaches with gorgeous scenery all over the island. Many small islands with beaches, caves, and most with dense forests adjoin the east coast. Coral reefs and underwater life can be found on the islands to the west and southeast of Lanta.
The east side of the island remains largely untouched by tourism, with communities of sea gypsies, Muslims, Thai Chinese and Thai Buddhist communities living in harmony for generations.

Even today Lanta Island is relatively rarely visited by yachts.
