Best Places to Visit in Koh Lanta
Best Beachex :

Klong Nin Beach has a village feel, with lots of beachfront restaurants and bars all close together and easily accessible by road.
Long Beach is also popular but as it’s over three kilometres long it rarely feels crowded.
Klong Dao Beach is the busiest beach on Ko Lanta as it’s the nearest to the island entry point in Saladan. It’s only a 10 minute drive from Saladan to Klong Dao.
Klong Khong is a quieter beach, more laid back and with some nice villas for rent within walking distance of the seafront.
Kantiang Bay is one of Thailand’s most beautiful beaches, a near-perfect crescent of sand and sea
Nui Bay is a tiny beach with very little development – great for a day visit.
Klong Jark Beach is also very quiet with little development
