Koh Lanta,
a pretty
drop into the Andaman Sea.
Since the airport at nearby Krabi southern Thailand opened, Koh Lanta, one of southern
Thailand's most pristine islands best is gaining popularity. A laid-back island
atmosphere make
a charming place for a quiet Thailand vacation.
Several pretty islands
of the southern Thailand Andaman Sea are around with bizarre
limestone formations and deserted beaches. Koh
Lanta style is bungalows and beach cottages but think think you get
this for cheap. Before aimed at backpackers everything is drifting
to up market resorts which are naturally not on the cheap side. Chao Lay
or sea gypsies - still make up a large part of
the population.
During
high season (November to March), the sandy beaches of Koh Lanta's western coast
are quite busy. At other
times of year the island is largely deserted.
To get to Ko
Lanta the best is take a taxi to Bangkok's southern bus terminal
and take a bus to Krabi. A Thailand bus is leaving almost every 2
hours for Krabi. Koh Lanta is for people who really go into into
inner immigration, there is nothing to do after night falls except
go to the restaurant and enjoy the sea food, there is no nightlife
Phuket or Bangkok style, actually is a good Thailand vacation
destination for a family.
Laze on the beach,
so some snorkeling, maybe have a ride with the speedboat into the
Trang Thailand archipelago to explore the Morakot Cave and other
southern Thailand highlights. Experience rainforest and some beautiful waterfalls
or just sit down in the morning and watch the fishermen to bring in
the catch by longtail boats, they deliver the sea food you probably
enjoy in a Thai restaurant in the evening, its real fresh.
