Do you want to know which are the best beaches in Koh Lanta? Explore the beautiful Koh Lanta beaches with me in my Koh Lanta Beach Guide designed to help you decide where to stay on Koh Lanta!
This Thailand Travel video is part of a series of videos from Koh Lanta, so if you enjoyed this video don't forget to check out more of my Koh Lanta videos here:
bit.ly/2ZJSITO
This Koh Lanta Beach Guide starts at the north of Koh Lanta island with Klong Dao beach, the closest beach to Saladan Pier which will be your port of entry to Koh Lanta. Next up is Phra Ae beach, better known by tourists and travelers as Long Beach, and probably the best known beach on Koh Lanta. From here join me on a Koha Lanta beach tour heading all the way down to Bamboo Beach (also known as Ao Mai Phai) just north of the Mu Koh Lanta National Park.
Along the way there are plenty of other beaches including and Klong Nin which is a popular sunset spot for visitors to Koh Lanta and my personal favourite beach on Koh Lanta which is at Ao Nui Bay.
Other Koh Lanta beaches include Kantiang Bay which has a beautiful wide beach and caters to luxury travellers, while Klong Jark Beach has just a handful of accommodation options and Klong Khong is popular with backpackers.
I hope your enjoy the video, and add your comment below if you have any questions or if you want to share your experience.

Koh Lanta is a chilled out Thai Island rather than one with a party vibe, and that suits me perfectly! It has everything from Luxury 5 star Resorts to budget accommodation perfect for backpackers, and from busy beaches to beaches with nothing at all!

Wow I wished I've stayed in Koh Lanta a bit longer. I only stayed in Koh Lanta for 1 night - came from Koh Phi Phi which I stayed for 3 nights, took the ferry from there to Koh Lanta and stayed around Klong Dao for 1 night only and visited Long Beach as well, then took the ferry to Koh Lipe the next day where I stayed for 3 nights. Now I wished I've stayed in Koh Lanta an extra 2 days now. Thanks for the video Simon - this was a very informative video of the island. I think I will have to think about another trip to Thailand as I still need to visit Chiang Mai as well. I went to most of the known islands like Koh Tao, Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi, Phuket (twice), Krabi (twice), Koh Lipe (twice including a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia) plus Bangkok too so I guess one more Thai trip for me again - more likely in January or February as this is the time I would normally visit Thailand or Malaysia or Singapore. Great stuff Simon, your secret beach is safe with us and Thanks!! From a fellow Brit!!

Wonderful video. We are deciding between Koh Samui and Koh Lanta after seeing your reviews. Do we have to watch out for monkeys and or dogs on most of these beaches?

@TravelwithSimon 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Kimberley, in general on most beaches its not a problem especially the busier ones, on the quiet beaches on Koh Lanta in the far south monkies can sometimes raid bags and grab food, drinks, suntan lotion but on the main beaches they dont show up, random dogs wander everywhere and generally not a problem, I wouldnt recommend petting them! Between Samui and Lanta I would say Samui is the busier more developed island with more visitors and well geared up for tourism while Lanta is much less developed, quieter and less organised, Samui probably has the better beaches but Lantas beaches are much quieter, so if you want quiet no crowds, cheaper prices but less tourism infrastructure Lanta is great, if you want more people, activities, places to eat, more resort options, lots of choices and a more polished service Samui is better for that. Hope this helps you choose the best option for your trip, if you have any more questions let me know. Simon

Fantastic video, thank you. One quick question, I'm visiting Koh Lanta for 5 nights at the end of December with my family (my parents in their 70s and my kids, 7 & 14). Apart from the very quiet beaches, are sunbeds and umbrellas available to rent for the day??

Was it any problem to fly your drone at Koh Lanta ?

@TravelwithSimon 4 жыл бұрын

Thailand now requires a licence for flying drones in the country, it takes about 6 months to process but can be done with the help of the DJI store in Bangkok. As always when flying a drone anywhere I kept away from all authorities and anything official looking, and in all the flights I flew on Koh Lanta no-one ever had any issues with me when I was flying.
