Koh Lanta Activities for Non-Divers
Things to do on Koh Lanta
In addition to the excellent diving and snorkeling, there are many other activities on Koh Lanta to keep you busy. For both divers and non-divers alike, there's something for everyone on the island and most tours can be booked at your hotel/resort reception who will contact the operators to make a booking for you.
There are just too many restaurants on Koh Lanta to mention them all, many small family run businesses and road-side eateries serving traditional Thai food at very affordable prices, as well as the more expensive 'farang' (foreigner) restaurants around the island. There are also plenty bars on Koh Lanta, with full-moon and half-moon parties at the beach bars and whilst Lanta is not really a 'party' island, there is always a party to be found at one of the many beach bars during high season.
