Off-the-beaten-path guide to Lanta Island, Thailand | You won't want to leave!
Day1 Phi Phi Island → Lanta Island (Last picture)
I took the last speedboat, half an hour, it was windy and wavy that day, I felt very dizzy, I suggest you take the one at around eleven in the morning, the price is also the most affordable, I heard that there is a 10 island fee, but I didn't see anyone collecting it when I got off the boat.
Took a double-bar car to the hotel, one hundred (you can call the hotel in advance, many offer free pick-up)
The hotel I stayed at was a four-star resort, booked in advance for over a hundred, the price on the day of check-in rose to over five hundred, everything was good, there is a private beach behind the hotel, not many people, the scenery is quite good. The roadside shops are very unique, all guarded by cats.
Day2 Lanta Island
Rent a small motorcycle for one hundred and two near the hotel, follow the navigation towards Lanta Old Town, saw many oil shops along the way, bottled, generally forty-one a bottle, two bottles are enough to go around.
Not many people in Lanta Old Town, it's very comfortable to stroll around the small shops, forty-one cups of mango
Ice, sitting by the sea and daydreaming is very comfortable.
Ride towards the National Forest, the road is uphill all the way, occasionally you can see monkeys and monitor lizards on the side of the road
After a section of mountain road is the coastline, the sea is gradient, no tourists
Walk and stop along the way, walk to an unknown hillside, pass a deserted pavilion, the scenery is excellent (pictures ④⑤)
Eat near the hotel, it's a restaurant that has everything, the taste is very good, ate there for two days, the boss is very enthusiastic, knowing that we are Chinese, he output all the Chinese he knew, before leaving he humbly asked how to say: (Is it delicious?) and (Have a good time!) in Chinese, really too friendly
It started to rain heavily in the afternoon of the first day, it rained all night, the original plan was to go to Rok Island the next day, but because the weather forecast was always rain, so decided to go around the island in the morning of the second day, and go to Krabi in the afternoon. Asked the hotel before going out in the morning, there was no boat, only carpooling, four hundred and fifty. One person to Krabi (here to remind everyone, decide the itinerary must book in advance) I returned to the hotel at about one and a half, asked the hotel front desk to book a car, they asked around, the car was full.
Because I had already booked a hotel in Krabi, I thought I had to go to Krabi, 100 by taxi to the pier to try my luck (there are many travel agencies outside the pier) asked around and all the cars were full, finally chartered a car with a little sister for one thousand per person, she went to Krabi airport, I went to Ao Nang Beach nearby...
There was a big traffic jam when leaving Lanta, because there was a section of waterway, the car had to get on a boat to the other side to continue, it was raining all the way, it was already dark when I arrived in Krabi, I suggest everyone to be cautious when traveling alone, pay attention to safety.
If you have plenty of time, I suggest you check the weather, stay in Lanta for two or three days, it's closer to Rok Island from here, the island has good scenery, not many people, very leisurely~
Phi Phi Island offers stunning beaches, clear waters and breathtaking scenery.
Gorgeous place on earth with turquoise waters for snorkeling. Also suitable for diving. But too crowded and many tour groups.
Phi Phi Islands for the day. We last did this 15 years ago and while the landscapes looks the same there are about 50 million more people. Thankfully the Thai govt has stepped up and put a lot of protocols in place to protect these spaces. Like no swimming at Maya Bay since 2022. This tour we did was great, even in the rain. Because of the tides we had to change things up and headed off to Phi Phi Lei first. 🛶 Long Tail boat into Phi Phi Lei & Viking Cave🛶 lunch overlooking the beach at
Koh Phi Phi or Phi Phi Islands are located in the middle of the Andaman sea, 42 km away from Amphoe Mueang…The largest of the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Phi Phi Don is a non-volcanic island, made mostly of limestone. Accessible from Phuket, with all visitors arriving by boat, it can get pretty crowded but the view is just super breathtaking making it one of the world’s most beautiful beaches!!!Entrance to Maya Bay is now from the back of the island and all tourists need to make a short trek ….
