Some people say Koh Lantra isn’t too packed and it is just right amount of fullness. It’s a relatively long island, 27 kilometers to be exact but still small. For being considered small, there is a lot to do on this beautiful island. Koh Lantra has everything you could ask for: pristine beaches, yummy food, classic Thai massages and the list goes on and on. This island is remote yes but not at all hard to reach thanks to the ferries. It’s a 4 hour journey from places like Phuket ,11 hours with van and ferry from Koh Tao or 8 hours with a high speed ferry and van from Koh Samui.
Wi-fi is almost standard in hotels, guesthouses and cafes. Signal strength deteriorates in the upper floors of a multistorey building; request a room near a router if wi-fi is essential. Cellular data networks continue to expand and increase in capability.
