Ko Lanta ( also Koh Lanta) is an
island district off the west coast of Thailand.
Like many other destinations in Krabi
Province it is known for its diving and long white
beaches.
Ko Lanta is popular with tourists seeking a holiday
away from the parties: more walking on the beach
and watching the sunset than drinking and dancing.
It is also popular with families with young children,
and of course, with divers. The two largest islands
are Ko Lanta Noi and Ko
Lanta Yai. Although Ko Lanta Noi is inhabited,
Ko Lanta Yai is the primary tourist destination.
Ko Lanta is a little less well-known than nearby
Ko Phi Phi but it is hardly undiscovered:
the several beaches on the west coast of Ko Lanta
Yai are each strung with an unbroken line of resorts
and bungalows. Ko Lanta is especially popular
with Swedish tourists: although the "tourist
language" is English as it is in most places
in Thailand, and you will find menus and so on
are translated into English, expect the poolside
language to be Swedish much of the time.
