Chris Mitchell at Travel Happy offers a great roundup on advice and links to the southern Thailand beach island of Ko Lanta.
Looking for a laid back island in Thailand where there's unspoilt beaches, not too many people but still decent hotels and restaurants? Take a look at the Koh Lanta Beach Guide on AmazingLanta.com
If you're looking for a detailed guide about what you can find on each of Koh Lanta's beaches, check out the sterling work done by my friend Rob on AmazingLanta.com. Each of the major beaches on Koh Lanta has its own page, complete with Google Map showing the location of major hotels and restaurants and other attractions. If you click on the icons, you'll get a pop-up balloon with pictures, a brief description and a link to more info if you're interested.
There's also pictures and videos showing off each of the Koh Lanta beaches themselves and some of the hotels on it (the ones that would let Rob in to shoot some footage!) so you can get a proper look at what the hotel rooms really look like. There's also a short list of recommended hotels too, where you can read reviews written by guests who've previously stayed there.
The most popular beaches on Koh Lanta are Klong Dao Beach and Long Beach, mainly because they are nearest to the port of Sala Dan in the north where most travelers arrive on the island. Long Beach is still my personal favourite beach on Lanta - despite the ongoing development there, it still remains unspoilt and has a great collection of bars and restaurants after dark. Kawkwang Beach and Relax Bay are at either end of Long Beach and have their own character too.
