Ko Lanta, Krabi Province, Thailand
๐น๐ญ Ko Lanta District is a district in Krabi Province, Thailand. The district, approximately 70ย km from Krabi town, consists of three major islands. The first, Ko Klang, is separated from the mainland by a small river (klong) and road bridge, and is often mistakenly thought of as part of mainland Krabi Province. Of the two remaining larger islands, the larger, more populated Ko Lanta Yai (commonly known as simply "Ko Lanta") and the smaller Ko Lanta Noi, together with 50 other smaller islands make up the 52 island Mu Ko Lanta National Park. The largest island (Ko Lanta Yai) has nine beaches running down the entire west coast, forests, and tropical jungle. The geography of the island is typically mangroves, coral rimmed beaches, and tree-covered hills. A popular tourist destination, the islands are known for their long, sandy beaches and scuba diving. Ko Lanta Yai and Ko Lanta Noi are connected by the Siri Lanta Bridge opened in 2016. Neighboring districts are Nuea Khlong to the north-west and Khlong Thom to the north-east and east. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, established in 1990 as the 62nd national park of Thailand, occupies 134ย km2 of the district.
