Ko Lanta Travel Guide

 hugogo Says:  I did lots of research online about Learning to Surf in Thailand and found out that Koh Lanta Watersports did good courses. I was not dissappointed. Sam is an excellent teacher. I did the full learn to surf course. It was broken down over a few days which was great as I was... 

 missbossy Says:  There are a number of snorkelling tour operators. We ended up taking Opal. They overbooked and the boat was too packed when it started to rain... so a number of people got very cold in the driving rain. Plus there ended up being only enough fins for half of us.Snorkelling is... 

 SUPer888 Says:  We rented some SUP stand up paddleboards from the people at Lanta Paddlesports and had a great time. They were very friendly and gave us tons of free advice. We rented SUP boards one day and then took a tour to an island later that week. The water was clear and we could see... 

 tanyakahana Says:  "Time for Lime" cooking school, is a very pretty place where you can do a cooking class in an open air pavillon kitchen right next to the beach. There is a beach bar and a dining area (time for lime is also a restaurant) and they also offer bungalows to stay (but i can't... 

 francischris Says:  The roads are now well paved compared to few years ago.So the best way to explore the island would be on a bike dropping off at various waterholes for a beer or 2.Be careful not to have one too many and weave on the road like a drunken snake.The bikes are very low cc,I...

 traceyspacey Says:  This a french bakery and cafe with excellent breads and expresso's. We found ourselves here everyday. The staff were still be trained when we were there, so be patient. We were recommended banana and blackcurrant shake. It was excellent. The bread is fresh everyday. 

 traceyspacey Says:  We were staying here anyway and heard that the food was worth trying.Maybe it was because the kitchen had only just opened for the season or they were in a hurry as it was the bar's opening night, butThe Massaman curry didn't taste of much and the potatoes were barely... 

 traceyspacey Says:  This is a small friendly place that has a mix of local and German food. We opted to have Thai food and I am so glad that we did. The food is brilliant and very cheap. We paid 70B for Masaman chicken with rice. The rice came in the shape of a teddy bear, something that you... 

 traceyspacey Says:  After we had our first sip of expresso, we were in coffee heaven. This has to be one of the best expresso's that we had in Thailand. Add to this fresh bread, baguettes etc. Perfect.Very friendly and attentive service. Salami and Cheese Baguette. Try the pineapple lassi as... 

 mamasan69 Says:  I don't know why I haven't added this spot to my tips before as I have eaten here many times and love the food. Bob and his staff get the BBQ going around 12:00PM or so and keep cooking until late in the evening. He was very busy this time around and it was a good thing that... 

 traceyspacey Says:  We found ourselves at the Irish Embassy every night. Because we were in Ko Lanta in October, we found that most of the bars were closed. We had a warm welcome here. Great place to watch the football or rugby. Darren who owns this place is usually around for a chat and a beer... 

 neogary Says:  Krabi international Airport, a new structure in krabi. Upon arrival, can see that the airport is totally empty, maybe cause we're the first flight to reach ( 8am ). After getting into the airport building, the was no signages or any obvious signs as to which way we should...
