Lanta Island FAQ

Is Koh Lanta expensive?
Koh Lanta is known for being one of the more affordable islands to visit in Thailand. While hotel prices can increase during peak tourist season, budget travelers can manage on around $30 per day, covering accommodation, motorbike rental, and local street food or market meals.
Is Koh Lanta too touristy?
Koh Lanta Yai, often referred to as Koh Lanta, was first discovered by backpackers in the late 1980s. The island has since become more visitor-friendly, with improved infrastructure like a proper road on the west coast. However, it has managed to retain its authentic charm and over-tourism is not a significant concern.
Why are there so many Muslims in Koh Lanta?
The Muslim population on Koh Lanta has historical roots dating back about 300 years. Malay migrants, who had converted to Islam from ancient animistic beliefs, settled on the island. Many of these settlers, originating from areas like Sai Buri and Nakorn Si Thammarat on the opposite coast of Thailand, identified themselves as Orang Lonta.
Is Krabi or Koh Lanta better for a vacation?
Krabi offers easier accessibility, dramatic limestone cliffs, and a lively town atmosphere, making it ideal for shorter stays. Koh Lanta, on the other hand, provides a more relaxed ambiance with long sandy beaches, fewer crowds, and excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities. Choose Krabi for nightlife and quick access, or Koh Lanta for a laid-back island experience.
What are the best activities to do on Lanta Island?
Lanta Island offers a variety of activities for every traveler. You can explore its beautiful beaches like Long Beach and Kantiang Bay, go snorkeling or diving in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island, visit the Old Town for a glimpse into local life and history, and discover the natural beauty of the Mu Ko Lanta National Park.
