Where to stay
Pick a place with a pool on the beach. The jungle side has some nice apartments but the walk down the hill, across the road and to the beach will stop you from going to the beach that often. There are so many places it's best to book some place for a night or two then spend a morning driving to the different places for rent. There are loads of them.
Getting around
Tuk tuks and songtow taxis are everywhere. Just head to the road and negotiate your price. If the first one is too high then just wait for the next one. It should never cost you more than 50 baht one way. You can also rent a tuk tuk for about 200-500 baht a day.
Shopping
Mini marts and 7-11s are plentiful and sell everything you should need like food and diapers. There is a slightly bigger store in town called Lanta Mart but the mini marts Prices are about the same. In town has the best selection of shoes, clothes and souvenirs.
Things to do
Diving, snorkeling, boat trips, playing on the beach, relaxing, yoga, playing in the pool, and just enjoying life. We rented a tuk tuk and loved cruising around the island. There are caves and private beaches all over the island. Although we were on Koh Lanta in the slow season, there was still a lot of fun things to do.
Thailand is a beautiful country with so many islands to explore. Hopefully, we will be back soon!
