✈️ + 🚕 + 🚤 3-4h flight from Siem Reap to Krabi via Bangkok + 1h drive to the coast + 10min boat journey to Ko Lanta
It’s time to hit the beach! Also, a visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary!
Ko Lanta is a favourite for so many people, for so many reasons. It has the beaches, the nature, the vibes, a lovely local community and a ton of stuff to do.
One of my top recommendations is to visit Following Giants; seeing the elephants from so close but with no unnatural interactions, was one of the highlights of this whole trip!
We stayed in Kantiang Bay, close to the southern tip of the island, at the luxurious Pimalai Resort which spoiled us rotten! No matter where you stay though, it’s worth visiting this part of the island to enjoy the magnificent bay and have a drink at the legendary Why Not bar!
