Traumurlaub in Krabi und auf Koh Lanta

About the destination: Krabi Province is a popular beach destination in the southern part of Thailand, on the Andaman Sea. Krabi Province has stunning landscapes and magnificent limestone outcroppings called karst formations, which are a landmark of the region. Krabi has a lot of beautiful beaches which offer some really amazing scenes of sunrise and sunset. There are over 150 islands in the waters around Krabi. Krabi and the surrounding area and beaches are excellent for relaxing and sightseeing, not to mention all the crystal clear beaches, fascinating coral reefs, caves and waterfalls, as well as numerous islands and beautiful temples. There are many things to do in the areas, such as snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, rock climbing, white water rafting, diving, kayaking, and paddle surfing. If time permits, you can visit the nearby national parks for jungle trekking. Krabi offers a breathtaking scenery and it is one of the most beautiful beach destination in Asia.

About the destination: Koh Lanta, a laid‑back island in Thailand’s Krabi province, is ideal for travelers seeking a slower, more authentic beach escape. Instead of high‑rise resorts and loud nightlife, you’ll find long stretches of golden sand, quiet fishing villages, and sunsets that seem to last forever. The island is actually a small archipelago, but most visitors stay on Koh Lanta Yai, where accommodation ranges from simple bamboo bungalows to stylish boutique hotels. Beaches are the main draw here. Popular Klong Dao and Long Beach offer soft sand and calm waters perfect for families, while further south the coastline becomes wilder and less developed. Kantiang Bay, backed by jungle‑covered hills, is one of the most picturesque spots on the island. Many resorts are directly on the beach, so you can roll out of bed and into the Andaman Sea, then relax in a beachfront bar with fresh coconut or a cold beer. Beyond the shore, Koh Lanta has plenty to explore. The island’s interior is lush and hilly, with trails leading to viewpoints and small waterfalls. In the south, Mu Ko Lanta National Park protects rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and dense rainforest; its lighthouse viewpoint is perfect for photos. Offshore, day trips to the surrounding islands—such as Koh Rok, Koh Ngai, and the famous “Four Islands” tour—offer excellent snorkeling and diving with clear water and colorful coral. Koh Lanta also has a rich cultural mix of Thai Buddhists, Thai Muslims, and the sea‑dwelling Urak Lawoi people. Lanta Old Town on the east coast preserves the island’s maritime heritage with wooden stilt houses, small temples, and relaxed cafés overlooking the water. Evenings are mellow rather than wild: think seafood barbecues, night markets, and live acoustic music. With good roads, easy scooter rentals, and a friendly local vibe, Koh Lanta is a great base for couples, families, and solo travelers who want to experience Thailand at a gentler pace.
