La Laanta

Ko Lanta


Operated by a young English-speaking Thai-Vietnamese couple, this is one of the coolest spots on Lanta. Thatched bungalows have polished-concrete floors, platform beds, floral-design murals and decks overlooking a sandy volleyball pitch, which blends into a rocky beach. The laid-back restaurant does a tasty Thai menu with lots of veggie-friendly choices. It's the last turn before Mu Ko Lanta National Park.

It provides extra beds for children and there's a kids' swimming pool. There are steep low-season discounts.
