TRIP AROUND KO LANTA ISLAND

KOH LANTA Island. The origin of the name is unclear, but it may come from the Javanese LANTAS, which means a type of fish grill. The name of the island was officially changed to LANTA in 1917.Lanta is located approximately 80km from the provincial town of KRABI and consists of three main islands. The first is KO KLANG, it is separated from the mainland by a small river (klong) and a road bridge. The second is the more populated KO LANTA YAI commonly known as KO LANTA. The third KO LANTA NOI is not visited by many tourists, but it can certainly be interesting for lovers of traditional architecture.

Nejvědší ostrov KO LANTA YAI  má devět pláží táhnoucích se po celém západním pobřeží, lesy a tropickou džungli. KO LANTA YAI s KO LANTOU NOI je spojena novým mostem SIRI LANTA ,který byl otevřen v roce 2016.

MU KO LANTA National Park is a National Park in the southern part of the island. The park was founded in 1990. During a tour of the park, we will get to know several types of palm trees that are not common in the wild jungle, we will take pictures of parasitic tree difunbachia, free-living monkeys, scavenger monitor lizards and sea eagles hovering over the beautiful beach.
