Ten awesome things to do on Koh Lanta, which is a small island in Thailand and has beautiful beaches, waterfalls, and jungles.

Koh Lanta is a small island in Thailand, which has beautiful uncrowded beaches, historic towns, waterfalls, and jungles. I spent several weeks exploring this amazing island, and created this bucket list of the best things to do on Koh Lanta.

I rented a moped for $6 USD and spent one day cruising down the lower part of the west coast and then checked out the north and eastern sides of the island. Driving a moped on Koh Lanta felt safe and the average speed was much lower than in many other places in Southeast Asia. It’s definitely the best way to get around to all of the different viewpoints and things to do on Koh Lanta.

Visit Koh Lanta Old Town

This turned out to be a little hard to find as I drove past it twice but once I found this authentic Thai fishing village nestled on the shore of the ocean I was glad I persisted to find this Koh Lanta attraction. Beautiful wooden houses on stilts line the shore as far as the eye can see, many of which double as restaurants. The area is noted as having high-quality local cuisine and also internationally-influenced cafes and restaurants.

The cafe I visited was called Caouthchow Restaurant Glacier and an incredibly nice French man was the chef, server, and resident of this awesome house/restaurant. In Southeast Asia, you can never be sure what to expect to come out on your plate and I am the furthest thing from a food critic.
