General Information about Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is a still quiet touristic place. It is very popular with backpackers who can find accommodation in very rudimentary bungalows near the beach at incredibly low prices, not crowded beaches with white sand and turquoise warm sea. For lounging, sunbathing, swimming and snorkling far away from the bustle of the other islands is the ideal destination. The nightlife is necessarily less busy and there are not so many activities proposed of course but you can still dive, do some other water activities and go around the island. Koh Lanta is a little piece of paradise not yet completly stained by massive tourism. But it probably will not last.
Accommodations in Koh Lanta
For those who love living in a Robinson Crusoe way and sleeping in a bamboo hut in rough comfort, Koh Lanta has many cheap accommodation to offer. Of course besides these simple and very basic resorts there are other hotels and more comfortable accommodation. But what we particularly appreciate in Koh lanta is its relaxed atmosphere not as touristy as the other islands in the area. Koh Lanta is still a little wild and has many basic bungalows rooms.Find accommodation in Koh Lanta

Practical information about Koh Lanta
Once away from the pier, you have more difficulty to find motorcycle taxis or shared taxis. If you want to explore the island you'd rather rent a scooter. There is an important muslim population in Koh Lanta, so if you are fan of late sleep, check if your hotel is not near a mosque before checking in.My selection of tours & activities in Koh Lanta

Koh Lanta has a tropical savannah climate and a six months rainy season between May and November with heavy rainfalls often brief but very regular especially from July to the end of October.The best time to come to Koh Lanta is from December to March and especially in January-February, the sunniest months of the year here. From July to October the weather is wet, it is betterto avoid this period to come to Koh Lanta. May and June are a little better but not the best time to come here either.
