Ko Lanta

Ko Lanta is an island district in Thailand’s Krabi province, comprised of two main islands – Ko Lanta Yai (the larger, more developed island) and Ko Lanta Noi. Often simply referred to as “Lanta,” it’s known for a more laid-back atmosphere than many of Thailand’s other islands, attracting those seeking a slower pace of life. The area offers a mix of long, sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages, and a growing digital nomad community.

Much of Ko Lanta Yai is covered by the Mu Ko Lanta National Park, providing opportunities for hiking and exploring diverse ecosystems. While it gained some initial recognition as the filming location for a French reality show, Lanta’s appeal now lies in its authentic Thai culture, affordable cost of living, and reliable internet access – making it a practical and appealing base for remote workers.
