What a great post about my favorite place in the world! I’m happy to report that as of six years later, Koh Lanta still has its wild, rustic feel. There were hardly any backpackers, and my friend and I didn’t meet any other Americans on the island. There are more resorts with amenities, including some high end ones in the south, but it still feels somewhat untouched. Love it there.

Hi Ian and Wendy — Koh Lanta was unbelieveable. This was 6 years ago though and the last time we were there plans were being made for some huge resort hotels and the roads were about to be paved. Hopefully, despite this, it is still a quiet place to go. I would still recommend it, as I am sure it is nothing like Koh Phi Phi. I can’t wait to go back and blog about it!

We shied away from the south of Thailand just because of the stories of hordes of tourists. It nice to hear that there are still some islands not overwhelmed by midnight drinking fests on the beach. (Not that we have any objection to others wanting to partake in them – we’re just too old for that scene, now!) Some day we’ll have to go back and explore some of the quieter islands.

It was. I do like seeing other travelers too, but sometimes it can become overwhelming.

Thanks! We took lots of photos of this place because we loved it so much. I still look at the photos often and dream of going back…..

Your trip sounded beautiful. Seeing a place without the hordes of tourist is a great experience.

Violet Dear—thanks for the update. Kathryn and I can’t wait to return! We’ve done Lanta in the rainy season—August, actually. So we know what it’s like. We stayed on Khlong Nin Beach, which if I recall is a little choppy and not too clear this time of year. If you have a chance, let us know where you stayed!

I am here (Ko Lanta) right now as I type this! It is rainy season so there is no one around – kind of nice! Even in high season I can tell that while it would be busy, there is no tourist ghetto like in Phi Phi or Phuket – it must still be quite laid back!
