Koh Lanta Yai is a long thin island stretching from north to south. It is mainly mountainous covered with lush tropical forest. On the west side of the island are many bays with beautiful beaches including Klong Dao Beach, Kor Kwang Beach, Loah Bara Beach, Ao Pra Aah, Klong Kong Beach, Ao Nui, Ao Klong Jak, Klong Noen Beach and Bagun Tieng Beach. There are some excellent 5-star hotels such Pimalai Resort and Spa, Rawiwarin Resort, and Layana Resort and Spa. Some of them have their own speedboats for the exclusive use of guests. The main town and business district are on the east side of the island where facilities like tourist information, tour guides, restaurants and shops can be found. Koh Lanta Noi is where the main community can be found including government offices and tour operators. Package tours to the surrounding islands can be arranged here including Koh Boo Boo, Koh Ka, Koh Por and Koh Talengbeng. Koh Rok Nok has white sandy beaches and coral reefs. There is a beautiful mixture of mangrove and rain forest. It is uninhabited but camping is allowed with the consent of the rangers. Koh Rok Nai features high rocky cliffs, beautiful beaches and coral reefs. The island is an undiscovered gem teeming with marine wildlifeRacha Island The Racha (or Raya) islands are best known as excellent diving and snorkeling daytrip destinations. Racha Yai, however, is quickly developing into a place to stay on for a while with a number of bungalow and resort operations springing up in recent years. Racha Yai reveals itself in splendid fashion, with most arrivals landing onto a strip of fine white sand tucked deep into the long, U-shaped main bay, called Ao Tawan Tok or Ao Bungalow. The water here is clear and perfect for snorkeling, though the bay gets quite busy with visiting boats in the afternoons. The other large bay, Ao Siam, is a pretty place where lonely strolls in solitude are possible. Racha Noi is uninhabited and has no services or accommodation, but there's some great diving in the area. For more information Moo Koh Lanta National Park Protection, Division 1 5 T.
