About Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is a collection of islands, the largest of which is Koh Lanta Yai and this is where nearly all of the tourist accommodation is and most of the bars and restaurants. Koh Lanta Yai has nine white sand beaches, the most popular of which is Klong Dao beach which is the closest beach to Ban Saladan Pier. South of Klong Dao beach is Phra Ae (Long Beach) which is also popular but quieter as the accommodation is spread out along the length of the beach. The majority of the visitors to the island stay at one of these two beaches. If you want even more peace and quiet try Ao Nui further to the south of Koh Lanta Yai.
