Koh Lanta District
Lanta
Islands National Park
Covers 152 square Kilometers of Lanta Islands.
This island forms the most southern district of Krabi
province. It was known long ago by its name in the Malay
language, Pulao Satak, which means Long Beach Island. Later,
so many Thais, both Buddhist and Muslim, came to live on the
island that there seemed to be a million eyes, which is what
some people think Lanta means in Thai.
Lanta Yai Island
Lanta Yai Island is where the District & National Park
offices are located. The island geography is mountainous and
rugged, especially near the southern tip; some beaches are
gravelly, others have fine white sands. A clan of Chao Ley,
or "Sea Gypsies" are resident on Koh Yao Yai and they
preserve many of their ancient customs and ceremonies; e.g.
the setting of ceremonial boats adrift to bring good luck
and prosperity on the full moon nights of the sixth and
eleventh month This and other features of their lives are
open to view. To visit the island take a regularly scheduled
ferry from Ban Hua Hin Pier in Tambon Koh Klahng, Bor Muang
Pier in Tambon Sai Kao or Jao Fah Pier in Krabi Town.
Hah Island
A group of five islands. Hai Yai island has a field of grass
on its ridgeline. Another island resembles in shape a
sailboat; one has water that passes from one side to another
beneath it. There are some corals in shallow waters.
Ngai Island
A fine sandy beach and coral reef run down the east side of
this island. It is perfect for diving. Regular ferries and
charter craft are available from Pak Meng Beach in Trang
Province.
Taleng
Beng Island
This island is in some ways a smaller version of Phi Phi
Ley; made of Limestone, honeycombed with caves, inhabited by
the same swifts whose nests are made into soup. Small
beaches and caves appear where the tide ebbs.
Rok Nai Island
is composed largely of formidable cliffs. On the east side
are a fine sandy beach and coral gardens growing around sea
rocks. On the northern side are San Jao Bay and Tohng Bay.
Rok Nok Island
The southeast and southern ends of this island have fine
sand beaches and shallow water corals. Also not to be missed
are Man Sai Bay and Talu beach. Transport to the island is
via charter from either Pak Meng Beach in Trang Province or
from Lanta Yai Island. There are tents for rent, contact
