What to do in Koh Lanta

One of 16 islands in the marine national park off Thailand's south coast, when it comes to diving and snorkelling hotspots, Koh Lanta boasts some of the country's finest. Grab your flippers and hop aboard a catamaran, which will have you admiring a rainbow of fish, sea turtles and more at the Hin Daeng or Hin Muang reefs in no time. Then again, you might prefer to sail the Andaman waters in a longtail boat, sunbathe on Koh Lanta's endless golden sands or spot chattering monkeys on a hike into the forest.
