Koh Lanta is a district of Krabi Province. It's a large island that has been continuously inhabited for over a century, comprising Koh Lanta Yai (Big Koh Lanta) and Koh Lanta Noi (Small Koh Lanta). Most tourist attractions are located on Koh Lanta Yai, while Koh Lanta Noi is home to the Koh Lanta District Office. Due to its distance from the mainland, Koh Lanta retains the beauty of its sandy beaches and clean waters, as well as the traditional way of life of its islanders, who are inhabited by Thai Buddhists, Thai Chinese, Thai Muslims, and the Moken (sea gypsies) living together peacefully. This contrasts with the modern development around the northern part of the island, near the port and on the western beaches, which are bustling with tourists. Therefore, a visit to Koh Lanta offers a diverse range of experiences in one trip.
