One of Thailand’s lesser developed islands, Koh Lanta is a little more difficult to reach than other Thailand holiday islands, but is well worth the small extra effort in getting there. A lush rainforest interior and white sand beaches are the key features of Koh Lanta, along with the absence of much nightlife and large resorts. Koh Lanta is ideal for couples looking for a quieter escape and we highly recommend the Pimalai Resort & Spa and Layana Resort as two wonderful boutique Thailand beach resorts. Koh Lanta can easily be combined with nearby Phuket or Krabi.
