Beach Escape - Ko Lanta Yai
Situated 70km south of the Krabi International airport, Ko Lanta Yai is a great alternative to Thailand's better-known beach destinations. This is a perfect choice for those seeking a different, more remote beach destination.
Intro
Total Trip - 4 days
Days here are best spent relaxing, strolling the beach and slowing things down. Yet for those wanting some action, motorcycles are available for rent and nice drives can be had around the island. Good snorkelling/scuba opportunities are offshore (season permitting), almost guaranteeing this emerging destination is sure to be an international favorite in coming years.
After landing at Krabi airport, the island is reached by minivan and two very short ferry rides. The total commute time is about two-and-a-half hours from the Krabi airport.
