About Krabi and Koh Lanta
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Koh Lanta sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

This national park is ok, but in my opinion, it’s not really worth the detour.
It’s very remote, and once you’re there, there isn’t that much to do. The one short hike available is mostly in the forest, with limited views. As for the beach, it’s pretty, but there are definitely better places if your goal is swimming or spending time by the water.
The park itself is pleasant, but when you factor in the distance and the cost.
One cool highlight, though, is the drive to get there. Along the way, you’ll likely see a lot of monkeys, which is pretty fun and definitely the most memorable part of the experience.
A little national park at the end of Koh Lanta Island.
200 baht per Person and 20 baht per Bike.
Nice but steep path up the national park and around it through the jungle.
Gotta get there in the morning or late afternoon to see some animals.
Amazing beach to chill in, with lifeguards.
Beautiful place. The trail at the beginning is quite challenging, but it’s definitely worth it. You need proper shoes — don’t wear flip-flops. We saw monkeys, enjoyed beautiful views, and learned about some plants along the way. To complete the whole route, you need around 1 hour plus 1 hour to chill etc

The drive to the park is beautiful, and we saw lots of langur monkeys on the way! It is quite steep and windy, and inexperienced bikers should proceed with caution.
The nature trail is rather steep at the beginnings and ends, so go early in the morning before it heats up. We were also lucky enough to see several langur monkeys on this trail.
I would recommend doing the nature trail in clockwise fashion as intended. That way, you are climbing UP the hardest part, and you get to descend with some easier stairs.
The beach is beautiful white sand beach, with lots of shade. However, there are lots of sharp rocks in the water and we both cut our feet up pretty good.
It is one of the fewer east-facing beaches on the island. However, it is at the southernmost tip of this island so you could surely catch a sunset from the lighthouse area.
Really nice and easy walk in the national park - about 2 kms. It’s a relaxed trail.
You’ll see two kinds of monkeys along the way, which is pretty cool! Just make sure to watch your bags and food because they can be quick and aggressive.
You start from the entrance near the parking lot and end to beautiful beach.
The entrance fee is 200 THB, plus 20 THB for a motorbike. The ticket also covers the waterfall on the same day.
