One Week Koh Lanta Guide: The Thai Island of my Dreams theworldonmynecklace.com

Koh Lanta in Thailand has a nice blend of locals and tourists, it has a relaxed vibe, and it's home to gorgeous beaches. Check out this Koh Lanta Guide.

I had heard good things about Koh Lanta. How it wasn’t full of tourists and that it wasn’t overly developed. That the locals were still friendly, not jaded like on some of the islands that have been engulfed by tourism. How it had a peaceful vibe, great food, and beautiful scenery.

It sounded like my kind of place, and it was. But I didn’t love it straight off the bat, mostly because the first couple of days it rained solidly.

Luckily I quickly came around once the rain stopped, and I ended up loving Koh Lanta.

Koh Lanta is a large island, in fact at over 30km in length, it is one of the largest Thai islands in the Andaman Sea. You can easily get from Koh Lanta to Phuket where there is an airport, but despite being so close, there isn’t a load of tourism in Koh Lanta. And in that lies its charm.

While you could see the Koh Lanta highlights in a few days, it’s better to spend a week in Koh Lanta if you can so you have time to relax and to account for rainy days if you visit in or around the rainy season. There are so many things to do on Koh Lanta though that you could easily stay longer.

In this Koh Lanta Guide, I will cover my Koh Lanta highlights from my week on Koh Lanta, as well as the best Koh Lanta accommodation, how to get to Koh Lanta, how to get around the island, and more. Enjoy!
