Ko Lanta, Administrative district in Krabi, Thailand
Ko Lanta district encompasses several islands, including Ko Lanta Yai and Ko Lanta Noi, stretching 25 kilometers along the Andaman Sea coastline.
The eastern shores of Ko Lanta welcomed their first inhabitants approximately 500 years ago, establishing permanent settlements that shaped the district's development.
The district maintains a mix of Buddhist temples and practices while incorporating influences from different religious traditions across its populated areas.
Travelers access Ko Lanta through Krabi Airport, followed by ferry services or speedboat transfers that operate regularly from October through April.
The district reported only 11 casualties during the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, experiencing minimal impact compared to neighboring island regions.
