Why Koh Lanta is unique
Koh Lanta’s luxury is defined by restraint: long beaches, soft light, and the ability to depart early by private longtail before public boats arrive. It suits travellers who want Thailand’s scenery and warmth without the intensity of busier hubs.
Best time to visit
November to April is the classic window for calm seas and clear visibility, especially if you’re planning snorkelling and island-hopping. The green season is quieter and lush — routes are more weather-dependent, but the island can feel even more private.
What to do in Koh Lanta
- Private longtail day to outer islands (timed for light and sea conditions)
- Snorkelling in clear-water lagoons when conditions allow
- Sunset cruise on the Andaman coast (Kantiang area is a strong option)
- Old Town for a slower cultural texture
- Mangroves for calm paddling (ideal for photographers)
How to plan it well
The difference between an average day and a remarkable one is timing and routing. We plan around: tides, boat departure windows, snorkel visibility, and golden-hour return — then layer in dining and rest.
