Fondly known as 'the land of smiles', Thailand is commonly associated with gorgeous golden sand, palm-lined beaches, warm aquamarine waters, glorious temples and verdant jungle-clad mountains. Thailand is the primary travel hub of Southeast Asia, offering a diverse range attractions and activities to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether exploring the teeming metropolis of Bangkok, relaxing on the tropical beaches of the southern islands, scuba diving in the underwater wonderland off the coast, jungle trekking to hill tribe villages in the North, or discovering the ancient capitals, Thailand is filled with attractions to satisfy any interest.
Koh Lanta, set off Thailand’s Andaman coast, is one of the country’s most appealing island escapes—relaxed, scenic and far less developed than many of its neighbours, yet still wonderfully accessible. Known for its long stretches of soft golden sand and spectacular sunsets, the island offers a welcoming mix of serenity and understated charm. The southern beaches are the most peaceful, ideal for travellers seeking seclusion, quiet bays and a slower tropical rhythm, while the northern shores provide a livelier atmosphere with beachfront restaurants and casual bars dotted along the sand. Inland, Koh Lanta Old Town reveals another side of the island: wooden teak houses, small cafés and a colourful local market that offers a glimpse into traditional island life. With its blend of easygoing ambience, natural beauty and cultural character, Koh Lanta remains one of the Andaman’s most rewarding and versatile destinations.
