From Ban Saladan to the National Park

It is easy to explore Koh Lanta yourself as the roads are all paved since 2011. You can either rent a motorbike or a small car or jeep to start the tour around the island. If you are not an experienced motorbike driver it is safer to rent a car.

Two suggestions of where to rent a car or bike, you can also ask at the front desk of your accommodation.

This route takes you from Ban Saladan along Lanta´s West Coast and the beaches down to the National Park. In Saladan turn right at the school and follow the road to Kaw Khwang Bay. From here you have a nice view over Klong Dao Beach to one side and over Koh Lanta Noi on the other side. Going back from here to the main road you head further south passing Klong Dao Beach.

After Holiday Villa Resort Phra-Ae Beach commences. Take the dirt road to Klapaklam Restaurant down by the beach, have a dip in the sea and enjoy some refreshment.

If you follow the road southward the next beach is Klong Khong, which is rather rocky and not ideal for walking, good swimming conditions during high tide though. You can take the little dirt track to the beach at the end of the village. Just around the corner you can stop for a good coffee at Lanta Thip House.
After Klong Khong the road leads along the water until you see the big Rawi Warin Resort on your right hand side. This is the beginning of Klong Nin.

Follow the road further down, after the gasoline station and the Seven Eleven on your right take a right turn and the road leads you down and along to Klong Nin Beach passing small resorts and bungalow sites. Kong Nin Beach is ideal for swimming during high and low tide. Just across the hill after Sri Lanta Resort you can see The Narima, if you take a right just after the Narima you can find a nice secluded bay with a small restaurant.

Same Same But Different (เซมเซมบัท ดิฟเฟอเร้นท์) (KantiangBay)

Same Same but Different is located at the south end of Kantiang Bay. It is a lovely beach restaurant with big wooden chairs and unique decorations. The Thai food is excellent and I recommend chicken with cashew nuts. Even though a bit high priced at 180 Baht, it is worth ordering. All food is served in quaint porcelain dishes.

Klong Jak Waterfall (KohLanta)

Klong Jak Waterfall is not an impressive waterfall during high season as it is during the wet season. However, getting there is the goal. It takes about 45 minutes by foot and you walk partly through a river in the jungle. You can observe rare birds and other species.

Nature

Mu Koh Lanta National Park

Mu Koh Lanta National Park (สวนเกาะแห่งชาติ) (KohLanta)

Mu Koh Lanta National Park is located at the Southern tip of the island. The National Park is about 134 km2 large and does not only consist of rainforest on the island but also 15 small islands in the Andaman Sea belong to it.
You can find various snakes such as cobras and pythons, small mammals and more than a hundred bird species. A nature trail of 1.7 km goes through the park. However, the entrance fee of 200 Baht per person just for taking a walk is not justified.
