Destination.sherryTake
Lanta is the anti-Phi-Phi: pick it for space and calm. The further south you go down the west coast, the emptier and prettier the beaches get — Klong Nin and Kantiang Bay are the sweet spot between "things to eat" and "nobody around".

Destination.moneyTips
- 1The 4 Islands longtail tour (Emerald Cave!) is 400–600 THB from any agent — same boat the resorts sell for 1,500.
- 2Low season (May–Oct) prices halve, but many beach restaurants close — shoulder months Apr/Nov are the value play.
- 3Night market in Saladan (Sundays) does dinner for 50–80 THB a dish.
当地交通
- 1Krabi airport (KBV) → Lanta: shared minivan straight onto the car ferry, ~350–450 THB, 2.5h door-to-door.
- 2A scooter (250 THB/day) is the island default — the single main road is flat and quiet, ideal for nervous riders.
- 3High-season speedboats connect Lanta ↔ Phi Phi ↔ Phuket and Lanta ↔ Koh Ngai/Trang islands.
Destination.mostCommonMistake
Day-tripping to Phi Phi and skipping Lanta's own south — Bamboo Bay and the Mu Ko Lanta national park beaches rival anything on the tour boats, without the crowds.
