This beautiful island off the south coast of Thailand has been home to an ancient sea gypsy race with their own language & beliefs.
Some time ago Thai fishermen and farmers arrived, and all now live happily together. Backpackers and German divers re-discovered Koh Lanta ( or Lanta Island, Ko Lanta ) in Thailand a dozen years ago, and the island has moved gradually from unknown and hard-to-reach but through discovery by Scandinavian families it offers a growing variety of bungalow resorts with 20th century amenities until today. Most resorts are small, with 30 to 50 bungalows or less.
