Ko Lanta, Thailand
BEACHES :
Long Beach may not be the best place to swim, but it offers many beach restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a meal or a happy hour cocktail!
Beautiful Beach is probably the best place to swim in northern Koh Lanta. Just south of Long Beach, you’ll find a quiet beach with clear water!
Klong Khong Beach and Klong Nin Beach : you can find many restaurants and beach bars along these two beaches and at night, you may be able to watch some fire shows. Still, if you’re looking for the most beautiful beaches in Koh Lanta, you should drive even a little further down south.
Nui Bay is my favorite beach on the entire island! There is no parking lot for cars, so it’s only accessible by motorbike. To get there, you have to go down the stairs on the side of the road, where you’re likely to spot some monkeys. The beach itself is nestled in a small bay and features crystal-clear water – it’s the perfect place to swim. Also, this beach never gets too crowded, and there’s a small, native beach shack serving Pad Thai and fried rice.
Kantiang Bay (also known as Bakantiang Beach) is one kilometer long. With turquoise-blue water, white sand, and a few beach bars (which are a little bit more pricey for Thai standards), it’s the perfect place to chill out.
Bamboo Beach – another great place to swim and relax! It’s about 800 meters long and is covered in powder-white sand. There are also a few restaurants, beach bars, and accommodations on site.
