My paradise on earth Low nice beach with good water and a lot of damn beach bars and restaurants are located along the entire beach and all hotels located on the beach 50 m from the sea

The most beautiful beach in Koh Lanta by far...no rocks in the sea, fine sand...be careful with children though because the water is deep as soon as you enter.

Not the most beautiful beach in Thailand, but it’s the best I’ve been to because it’s not crowded, there are zero vendors to annoy you, and the water is calm and perfect for swimming. Sunsets are spectacular. Only negative is the jellyfish - there are only a few but they are terrifyingly large, about the size and shape of an anti-tank landmine.

A very peaceful and wonderful beach away from the tourist crowd with lots of affordable resorts nearby. I spent everyday of my 2 weeks holiday on Lanta there and it’s been the best unplug I could ever wish for. Top for sunbathing, chilling and swimming. Sand, no rocks 🪨
