Long Beach
South of Klong Dao you find Long Beach, Phra Ae, with simple bungalows to luxury resorts and the residential Malee Beach area. Long Beach has been ranked top-ten most beautiful beaches in the world.
Meditation
Meditation and contemplation is something we all need more of in our life. Why not visiting one of the three temples, sit down and give yourself some time to concentrate on “nothing”. This comes natural in this environment!
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are common in Thailand in this part of the world as well and cases of Dengue fever exists now and then. Use mosquito repellents that are available on Koh Lanta and covering clothing to avoid mosquito bites.
Muay Thai Stadium
Muay Thai is probably the Thai national sport number one! There are two stadiums on Lanta showing fights a couple of weeks. Listen to the car with speakers announcing this hundreds of time so you won’t miss it!
Old Town Pier
Paintball & Bouldering
Lanta Paintball and Bouldering wall might require some energy in the heat but they have a café and sun loungers as well.
Relax Bay
Relax Bay which is a small beach located just south of Long Beach. Continue further south, to Klong Kong Beach with an even more “relaxed” atmosphere. This beach is rockier of its character.
Rent a bike
Motorbike is a convenient to easy get around. If you rent one, you should check that it has a valid tax sticker, paid insurance and ask them to include a helmet. To rent a TukTuk is at own risk since the insurance only cover the people on the actual bike.
Rent car & motorbike
If you are renting car or motorbike, make sure you bring an International Driver’s License and have insurance covering. For long stay tourists, it is recommended to get a Thai License in Krabi for car or motorbike.
Restaurants
Restaurants along the beach front have a beautiful location and a must for the sunset drink! It is not always the best food are found there. Many of the street restaurants are open the year around and are cheaper and might be what you are looking for if you are into genuine Thai.
