Koh Lanta Yai – the Allure of the South Sea

Krabi, a dream seaside town, makes its name out of its great natural resources, the white sand, clear water, beautiful coral, caves, creeks and cliffs. The province boasts over 100 big and small islands and is regarded as one of the three beautiful coastal jewels of the Andaman which has long made lasting impression on both Thai and foreign tourists.

In particular, Koh Lanta Yai, the tourist center of Koh Lanta, is famous for its white, clean beach and clear water. Given its area of 80 square kilometers, Lanta Yai is no doubt Koh Lanta District’s largest island. To the west of the island is the zone opening to the Andaman. Tourists wanting to visit Phi Phi Island and Krabi can take a boat ride from the pier in front of Saladarn at the top end of the island which is also the center of Koh Lanta’s tourist center, thanks to its full range of tourist services and one of Lanta islands’ best vantage points for the scenic surroundings.

Koh Lanta Yai offers plenty of activities to engage tourists. Among them are sun-bathing, seaside relaxation, trekking and cave exploration. Alternately, it is also possible to enjoy the waterfalls towards the west of the island. As a result, there is no surprise Koh Lanta Yai is considered the sea lovers’ paradise, offering another alternative ideal for people wanting to unwind in peaceful ambiance.
