What are the best beaches in Thailand?
Thailand is known for its dazzling and beautiful tropical beaches with powder-soft sand and crystal clear waters. It's almost inevitable with more than 5.000 kilometers of coastline and hundreds of beaches, each unique in its own beauty.
First of all I would like to say how very nice I think it is that I can get so much practical information about beautiful Thailand on the site. Next winter I will go back to this beautiful country after three years and want to emphasize a few beautiful islands.
Vacation memories
Often you have forgotten many things from many beautiful trips, but certain small nice details will live on in the memory for a long time.
Discover Thailand (9): The Islands
Thailand has a wealth of beautiful islands along its coasts. These islands are popular with tourists for their beautiful beaches, clear blue waters and relaxed atmosphere. They also provide a great place to enjoy outdoor activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling and to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Khao Mai Kaew Cave on Koh Lanta, worth a visit
A great cave on Koh Lanta that has not yet been exploited by the institutionalized excursion industry. A gem of an island in the Andaman Sea.
Back to Thailand in September/October for a few weeks. Start and end at Krabi and want to make a trip of about 10 days to Koh Lanta in between and that's what my questions are about:
My wife and I are going to Koh Lanta in November. We fly from Bangkok to Krabi and then have to get further to our Hotel on Koh Lanta. The hotel can arrange a "pick-up" at Krabi airport but is shockingly expensive. Does anyone have good tips and / or experiences to get from Krabi airport to Koh Lanta at a "normal" price?
Reader question: Koh Lanta can rent houses on the sea
Who oh who can tell me where I can rent houses by the sea on Koh Lanta? Preferably a house on the beach or an affordable resort on the beach.
Reader question: From Krabi to Koh Lanta
In August we will travel around Thailand. We would like to travel from Krabi to Railey and then on to Koh Lanta. Now we have read that this is only possible in the rainy season from Krabi to Ao Nang and then by longboat to Railey. Is this correct? And are we sure we can reach Railey in August? If we want to go from Railey to Lanta, do we always have to go back via Krabi?
Reader question: What about night noise at Klong Khong beach (Koh Lanta)
We are considering 3 weeks Koh Lanta in February/March. Maybe at Klong Khong beach. However, we are allergic to nightly disco booms. On Railay beach we could hear that from miles away until 4 am and we had to sleep with the windows closed.
In February, like every year, we go to Thailand. The destination for this holiday is Koh Lanta. Now I hear and read various stories about Swedish high school students who cause a lot of nuisance on the island during this period.
Reader question: Do you have any tips for Koh Lanta?
We are going on holiday from Isaan, my wife and child plus babysitter and I to Koh Lanta for 10 days. Well you can see on the internet everything you can do there, and yes we will go snorkeling etc etc, but I would like some more information about what to do there.
Reader Submission: Lord, save us from mass tourism on Koh Lanta!
I have been living on Koh Lanta for 7 years and I run the Relax-Bay resort on Phrae ae beach. Now, Koh Lanta is very beautiful, but one of the most beautiful islands?
Egat continues plans for coal-fired power plant
The national electricity company does not care about the protests of residents of Krabi against the construction of a coal-fired power station and the construction of a deep-sea port. Harmful to the environment and human health and disastrous for tourism, they say.
On December 20 we fly to Krabi from Bangkok. We then continue to Koh Lanta. Is it necessary to book a ferry in advance or can that also be done on the spot?
Submitted: Disturbing news about Koh Lanta
My Dutch sister and her husband live on the island of Koh Lanta. Every year we visit them and enjoy it very much! This year there is only disturbing news. They want to build a coal-fired power station in Krabi, so this beautiful area could be lost
In the morning we want to go to Koh Lanta but now I can't find anywhere if there is also speedboat transport from Phuket to Koh Lanta?

Waste mountain on Thai islands (video)
Tourism in Thailand has led to economic prosperity, but also has a downside: environmental degradation. The tourists who visit the tropical Thai islands en masse cause a huge mountain of waste.
