About Ko Lanta
Ko Lanta consists of several islands, the two largest of which are Ko Lanta Noi (เกาะลันตาน้อย, Small Lanta Island) and Ko Lanta Yai (เกาะลันตาใหญ่, Big Lanta Island). However, Ko Lanta Yai is where all the tourist action is. Ko Lanta is popular with tourists seeking a holiday away from the parties. It's popular with a significantly older crowd than nearby Ko Phi Phi: more walking on the beach and watching the sunset than drinking and dancing
