Lanta Old Town is a small village on Ko Lanta's East Coast in Krabi Province. Many years ago, Ko Lanta's Old Town acted as the port and commercial center for the island and provided safe harbor for Arabic and Chinese trading vessels sailing between the larger ports of Phuket, Penang and Singapore. Today, Old Town is the district capital; it has a post office, police station, Buddhist temple, Chinese temple and the island's hospital as well as a long pier.

Lanta Old Town is a charming enough little spot to do a day trip to. We hired a small 4wd and enjoyed the drive from the main town over east to Old Lanta. You get a real sense of local living as you whizz past houses and kids and goats and lush bushland. We were there off season (October/November) so... more

Lanta Old Town is a small quiet town located on the east coast of Ko Lanta, away from the tourist strips, the resorts, the beaches and the lights of the west coast. It's the administrative center of the island of Ko Lanta Yai, the larger of the two Ko Lanta islands. The town has a single main road, and consists... more
