Koh Lanta

The pleasant Koh Lanta has been home to fishermen, farmers, and ancient sea gypsies with their own dialects beliefs. Backpackers and German divers re-discovered Koh Lanta a dozen years ago, and the island has moved gradually from unknown and hard-to-reach. However, thanks to the Scandinavian families who found this beautiful island, it is improved with a growing variety of bungalow resorts with modern amenities.

Koh Lanta is free from sex tourism, go-go bars, shopping clubs or discos but for snorkeling and diving. Koh Lanta's dive sites regularly listed in the world's top ten, an Old Town where life continues as it did a hundred years ago. Rent some bikes or a jeep and spend days exploring the beaches, rivers, caves and waterfall. Coconut palm gardens and rubber tree plantations are still on the island as we can see in 5 decades ago. You could also Watch sea gypsy fishermen build their nets as usual. It's expensive to travel to Koh Lanta, but inexpensive to stay. It's still non-commercial, and the locals smile almost all the time. Smile when you are there as the natural beauty will definitely makes you smile.
